  • Kia XG350

It is designed to replace the original condenser in these models, restoring the air conditioning system’s ability to cool effectively.

Common Issues Addressed by the 3257C A/C Condenser

  • Reduced cooling efficiency due to clogged or damaged condenser core
  • Leaks in the condenser causing refrigerant loss
  • Overheating of the A/C system from poor heat dissipation
  • Physical damage from road debris or corrosion
  • System pressure imbalances affecting compressor performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Global Parts 3257C condenser, ensure the A/C system is fully evacuated and depressurized before removal of the old condenser. The block inlet fitting requires careful alignment to avoid damage to the connection points. It is recommended to inspect and replace the receiver drier or accumulator separately, as this condenser does not include a drier or desiccant. Proper torque specifications should be followed to prevent leaks and ensure system integrity.
