Detailed Description

Universal Air CK1163 is a short compressor replacement kit for Chrysler minivan HVAC systems that use the listed compressor configuration.

The fitment notes specify vehicles without rear A/C for most applications, and the 2000 Chrysler Voyager listing notes a front position with piston configuration.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Loss of cabin cooling from compressor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, model, and rear A/C configuration before installation. The fitment data calls for replacement of the condenser with a new condenser, so inspect the system for contamination and debris before reassembly. Match the compressor style and application notes exactly to avoid fitment issues on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivan platforms.
