HVAC & ENGINE COOLING PARTS

Accumulator/Drier:
The accumulator in your vehicle gathers and stores liquid refrigerant until it’s converted into a gas refrigerant.

Sign of wear may include:
Lack of or insufficient cooling in cabin

Compressor:
The compressor compresses refrigerant. The compression leads to a change in the refrigerant’s boiling point, which helps create the cold air that is delivered through the HVAC system.

Signs of wear may include:
Lack of or insufficient cooling
Excessive clicking sounds or unusual noises during A/C operation

Water Pump:
The water pump is responsible for circulating engine coolant through the radiator and engine system to help maintain optimal engine operating temperatures.

Signs of wear:
Engine overheating
Leaking coolant

Condenser:
The condenser cools refrigerant gas back into a liquid state.

Sign of wear may include:
Reduced cooling capacity in vehicle cabin due to physical damage or debris

Compressor Clutch:
A critical component of your HVAC system, the compressor clutch engages and disengages your compressor.

Signs of wear may include:
Reduced cooling in vehicle interior
Noise when running A/C system
Rubbing/grinding noise when A/C is off

Blower Motor:
Your vehicle’s blower motor drives air through the HVAC system and into your cabin.

Signs of wear may include:
Lack of or diminished airflow through cabin vents
Unusual noises coming from blower motor

Engine Cooling Fan:
The engine cooling fan, located behind your radiator, draws cool outside air through the condenser and radiator at low-speed operation to cool the engine.

Signs of wear may include:
Engine overheats
Fan doesn’t turn on
Poor A/C performance

Expansion Valve:
The expansion valve restricts the flow of refrigerant, allowing it to change from a high-pressure liquid to a low-pressure gas, which provides the cooling effect of A/C.

Sign of wear may include:
Lack of cooling in cabin

Evaporator:
Warm air from inside your vehicle is delivered to your evaporator. Moisture and heat are then removed from the air and returned to your cabin.

Sign of wear may include:
Lack of cooling in cabin

Heater Core:
Hot engine coolant from the cooling system circulates through the heater core to provide warm air to the passenger compartment.

Signs of wear may include:
Sweet smell coming from vents

Signs of wear may include:
Exhaust is louder
Clunking noise in rear of vehicle

Muffler & Tailpipe:
The exhaust muffler reduces the noise levels of the engine exhaust by the use of tuning tubes. The tuning tubes create channels inside the exhaust muffler that lower the sound levels created by the combustion of the engine. The tailpipe carries the exhaust gases from the muffler to the rear of your vehicle.

Signs of wear may include:
Exhaust is louder
Clunking noise in rear of vehicle
