Video demonstrating how to replace the a/c system in your 3rd generation Subaru Impreza/WRX/STi.
We replace the compressor, condenser and TXV valve and all affected system o-ring seals. We finish the job off by charging up the system with r-134a refrigerant and test out the system.

Best video on KZread! Thank you
Could you add in the parts list by chance? Thanks
Only thing you forgot was flushing the hoses and evaporator to remove any contaminants

omg no. The system didn't have burnout of any sorts and we cracked the system open and installed everything back within hours of starting. Flushing, contrary to popular believe is NOT necessary if there was no refrigerant restriction, failed compressor or other major even that would release contaminants into the system. This system was 100% original and actually working but there was a pinhole leak in either the condenser (it has lots of physical damage due to age and rocks) and the compressor o ring seals were suspect. Given the age of the car that customer opted to replace all the key wear items. If the work was done in a timely manner in a fairly clean environment then no there is no need to flush out the system.

@piercedasian ok, should be good then. I am getting ready to replace the system on my subby due to a persistent leak. The compressor kit I bought says I have to do flush to maintain the warranty, $20 for the flush is cheap insurance.
