Summary
Some 2015-2019 Transit vehicles may exhibit poor air conditioning (A/C) performance. If the cause of this is found to be a refrigerant leak from the evaporator, this may be due to build up of contaminates inside the evaporator housing. To correct this concern, replace only the evaporator housing and install a cabin air filter as opposed to replacing the entire climate control housing assembly.

Service Procedure
NOTE: Some Transit vehicles that have had a heater core repair and system flush or were built on or after 02-Jan-2019 may be using Motorcraft Yellow Antifreeze/Coolant. If Motorcraft Yellow Antifreeze/Coolant is found in the vehicle, service with the same coolant.
- Inspect the A/C system. Does the system show signs of leaks in components other than the evaporator?
(1). Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00.
(2). No – proceed to Step 2.
- Remove the climate control housing. Refer to WSM, Section 412-00.
- Remove the retaining clip from the bottom of the case. (Figure 1 Callout 1)

- Remove the 3 retaining screws and separate the blower motor case from the evaporator housing.
(Figure 1 Callout 2) - Attach the blower motor case to the new evaporator case and install the 3 retaining screws. Tighten the 3 retaining screws to 3.7 Nm +/- 0.6 (32.75 lb-in +/- 5.31).
- Install the remaining clip.
- Install the cabin air filter in case above blower motor. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
- Reinstall the climate control housing. Refer to WSM, Section 412-00.

- Universal - ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a hydrocarbon that safely bonds with chemicals like R134a, R1234YF and R12. We can only advertise this product to be used in R134a systems due to EPA regulations in the USA on both R12 and R1234YF systems. EPA also prohibits mixing refrigerant types. See the description for all legal disclaimers.
- Easy - This product installs just as easily as any R134a products. Cans even have R134a threads and the majority of R134a can taps will work for these cans.
- 6oz Cans - Refrigerants are compressed gasses and are measured by weight, not by liquid volume such as water. All gasses compress differently and produce a different weight. ZeroR AC Refrigerant is low weight compared to R134a, but its performance is equal to 16oz of R134a.
- Eco Friendly – ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a 100% Natural gas unlike R134a, R1234yf and R12.
- Safe – ZeroR AC Refrigerant has a class 2.1 flammability rating just like the new R1234YF which is now used in 100% of newly manufactured vehicles. Under normal operating conditions this product presents no danger to its users when handled properly and used in systems approved for flammable refrigerants.
- Approved for use in California
- High Mileage refrigerant for vehicles over 75, 000 miles
- Contains approximately 10 oz. of R-134a and 2 oz. of additives
- Contains leak sealer to seal common A/C leaks in rubber hoses, gaskets, and O-rings
- Contains high mileage No wear additives
- This item cannot be shipped to Washington or California
- Contains approximately 1.5oz of refrigerant and 1.5oz of additives
