Title: Easiest way to replace drier
Post by: spaceone on December 01, 2020, 11:14:35

Hello

Compressor on Kia ceed 1.6 CRDI 2008 must be replaced and at the same time also receiver drier.
Anyone knows what would be the easiest and foremost fastest way to replace the drier? Or is the only way to remove the front bumper to get access?

PS: I assume the car is identical to I30.

Not hard to remove the bumper, one fixing screw in each of the front wheel guards and several plastic push screws under the bonnet where the bumper meets the radiator support, same underneath.

Remember to put a blanket under the bumper so you don't scratch it when it drops to the floor, easy 15 minute job :)
