Detailed Product Description

The Four Seasons Accumulator 83244 is engineered as a complete unit for the Audi S4's air conditioning system. Constructed from durable aluminum, it features a 3.5-inch diameter and an 8-inch length body, providing reliable performance and corrosion resistance.

This accumulator does not include a service port or switch port, aligning with the original equipment design.

The Four Seasons Accumulator product line focuses on delivering components that meet or exceed OEM standards, providing dependable replacements for factory parts. This ensures compatibility and performance consistency for vehicles like the Audi S4, where precise HVAC system operation is essential.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Four Seasons Accumulator 83244 requires proper handling to avoid damage to the aluminum body and fittings.

Always verify compatibility with the Audi S4 model year before installation.
