A/C Service tips for 2008-2011 mitsubishi lancer 2.0 v6 gas engine
2008-2011 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C systems feature a scroll style compressor. As described in gpd Tech Tip #36, “Piston Replacement Compressors”, the scroll design is known to underperform at low RPMs and does not tolerate excess debris well on select applications.
It is best practice to properly flush the system and replace the condenser and hoses when replacing the compressor, especially after a catastrophic failure. Any contaminants/debris left in the system from the failed compressor can create a restriction in the condenser, causing high head pressure and premature failure of the new compressor.
