Product Details

What It Helps Address

• Debris buildup that can affect system flow
• Reduced cooling performance caused by a restricted or saturated drier
• Service issues after A/C component replacement
• Fitment problems when the original unit uses pad mount connections

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses a pad mount receiver drier before ordering. Confirm the inlet and outlet connection style, and replace the sealing surfaces as needed during service. Because this unit does not include a service port or switch port, transfer any vehicle-specific components only if the original system requires them and the design allows it. For best results, evacuate and recharge the system according to factory A/C service procedures after installation.

Quality Assurance

Four Seasons 83161 is listed as meeting or exceeding OEM requirements and uses an aluminum construction with included seals for service-ready replacement. It is cataloged for 2002-2004 Kia Spectra fitment, including 2002 Kia Spectra from 11/01 and 2003-2004 Kia Spectra.
