  Q: How to remove and install an air conditioning condenser in the Honda Fit?

  A: Have the refrigerant discharged at a dealer service department or an automotive air conditioning repair facility. On 2008 and earlier models, remove the front bumper cover. On 2009 and later models, remove the grille cover. Remove the refrigerant line fasteners and detach the lines from the condenser. Discard the old O-rings. Plug all open fittings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture into the lines. On 2009 and later models, remove the radiator upper mounting brackets. Disconnect the electrical connector for the air conditioning condenser fan. Detach the wire harness clamp from the fan shroud and move the electrical connector aside. On all models, remove the mounting brackets at the top of the air conditioning condenser. Lift the air conditioning condenser up and remove it from the vehicle. Avoid damaging the condenser fins and tanks during removal. Installation is the reverse of removal. If installing a new condenser, add the specified amount of R-134a-compatible refrigerant oil. To prevent leaks in the air conditioning system, do not use old O-rings for the refrigerant lines. Replace them with new ones and apply R-134a-compatible refrigerant oil to them before installation. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by the shop that discharged.
