absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose and
nipples.
To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, plug the
dismantled hose and condenser assembly nipples.

>>A<< DRYER REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Remove the condenser assembly from the vehicle to access
the modulator.
2. Remove the modulator cap using a14 mm hexagon wrench.
3. Remove the desiccant bag from the modulator.
Do not remove the desiccant bag from the plastic bag until
just before inserting it into the modulator.
.
<> DRYER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Fit the desiccant bag with the welded portion facing the
bottom of the modulator towards the screw-thread end.
2. Add 40 ml of ND Oil 8 into system to balance the oil
removed from the system.
3. Tighten the cap to the required torque.

1.0 Nm
Because the plastic cap has a large, 14 mm hex socket, it
is susceptible to generating excessive torque. Therefore,
be careful not to damage the crown portion of the cap.
