How to replace the A/C Compressor on Chevrolet Traverse?

To remove the air conditioning system, start by recovering the refrigerant. Then, disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove the drive belt. Next, set the parking brake, block the rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the right front wheel and inner fender splash shield. Disconnect the compressor clutch electrical connector and remove the bolts for the refrigerant line fittings, discarding the seals. Seal all open connections to prevent contamination. Remove the compressor mounting bolts and carefully remove the compressor from the vehicle, avoiding tilting to prevent spilling refrigerant oil. For installation, transfer the clutch from the old compressor to the new unit if necessary. Adjust the oil level according to the compressor's instructions or add 2.5 oz (75 ml) of fresh refrigerant oil. Install the new compressor, using new seals and lubricating O-rings with clean refrigerant oil. Reconnect the battery and have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak-tested.

Chevrolet Traverse A/C Compressor

The Chevrolet Traverse A/C Compressor forces the low pressure refrigerant gas into a high pressure, high temperature condition to allow cool air to enter the cabin. The refrigerant is pumped by the A/C Compressor into the condenser, where the heat is released, then directs the now cooler liquid into the evaporator, and then repeats the process to ensure that the chill inside the car remains constant even during hot summer traffic. Initial models on the Chevrolet line were based on units that were designed to use R12 refrigerant, with subsequent models of the Traverse shifting to designs that use R134a, a cleaner refrigerant that combines with synthetic oil, as opposed to the mineral oil applied in earlier models. The casing and mounting points may resemble each other; however, these two A/C Compressor options have internal seals and lubricant compatibility differences. Therefore, the mixing of parts may be detrimental to performance or the environment. All Chevrolet drivers who experience poor airflow need to keep in mind that an aging Traverse A/C Compressor can be losing its capacity to generate the pressure difference needed to cool passengers quickly, and replacing a tired A/C Compressor restores crisp temperature control and comfort for passengers.

Each OEM Chevrolet Traverse A/C Compressor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
