I want to replace the Air Conditioning Accumulator on my vehicle because when I start up the vehicle something is making a loud grinding and rattling noise.

So after installing the new Air Conditioning Accumulator do I need to refill it with free-on?

Good evening,

The accumulator is a filter for the Freon. You need to recover the Freon to remove it and replace it. Then you need to evacuate and recharge the system.

Let's start at the beginning. This will not cause any noise at all. Who told you this was the issue?

Can you upload a video with sound so I can hear what you hear?
