Product Details

This Denso receiver drier helps manage liquid and vapor refrigerant flow while supporting smooth A/C operation. By capturing moisture inside the system, it helps protect internal components from corrosion and premature wear. The Denso New Receiver Drier 478-2020 is a practical replacement during major A/C service on Jaguar Vanden Plas, XJ8, and XJR models, especially when the system has been opened for repair or component replacement. This part cross-references Four Seasons 83083 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Moisture contamination in the A/C system
• Corrosion inside refrigerant lines and components
• Reduced cooling performance from restricted refrigerant flow
• Surging or inconsistent A/C operation
• Service-related wear after major A/C repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the receiver drier whenever the A/C system has been opened for major service, compressor replacement, or contamination cleanup. Verify the female inlet and outlet connections, block union layout, and dimensions before installation. For best results, evacuate and recharge the system according to factory service procedures after installation. Compatible with 1998-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, and 1998-2003 Jaguar XJR.
