• Visible condenser damage from road debris or corrosion

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s condenser style, fitting type, and refrigerant system before installation. Replace damaged seals and evacuate, leak test, and recharge the system according to factory service procedures. For the 2008 Mercury Mariner application, confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with a transmission oil cooler, since one fitment note specifies use without it.
