Drier Filter location?

HowFarToAsgaard's Photo HowFarToAsgaard 12 May 2013

Anyone know where the Drier Filter location is on a 3Gen B4?
According to the service manual only the LHD models have them located right hand side of the vehicle.
Or are the RHD in one with the condenser?

What are you trying to do?

You need to be licensed and have specialist equipment to work on Air Con.

I am 1st year fridgy and alota guys i work with are licensed so i got the equipment needed.
Im changing out a A/C compressor but im having a hard time locating the filter drier. For what i know the LHD models are the only one who have a replaceable stand alone canister style drier.
Now if you were to go off the service manual, it mentions no word about anything for the RHD models, But i have just found that they use a replaceable filter bag located on the condenser it self. Im unsure on how they come out but i have found a few filters on ebay. http://www.ebay.com....C-/300664174591

Yeh its the one the condenser where the blue arrow is.
Had one of the guys at work confirm it. At the bottom there is a cap you just unscrew, very easy just need to install a new seal when its done.

Inside is what ya call a receiver drier desiccant bag, cost at about 25 bucks for a replacement.
He said its pretty common on most Jap cars mostly Toyota and Subaru.
The compressor on the other hand is getting more complicated. Cant find anyone who dose rebuilds or even rebuild kits?
