Denso 478 1500 Receiver Drier Review

RX300. The condenser came with a dryer already installed, but the description says it does not include a dryer. The drying chamber of the new Denso condenser has a different thread than the original drying chamber and the plastic seal with O-ring did not fit either. The new condenser comes with a cheap plastic dryer cap as opposed to the nicely crafted aluminum cap that comes with the 478-1500 dryer.

This part is listed as correct for 2006 Toyota Tacoma and 2000 Toyota Echo. None of them matched. It would be a wiser decision to simply purchase a competitive condenser up front than to try and simply swap out the desiccant bag. On the plus side this is a genuine Denso part and if it fits I'm sure it will work fine.

Read what you need to replace before you buy, especially if you are also replacing a failed compressor. On a 2004 Toyota Sienna and possibly others, the entire condenser must be removed to replace this filter.

It's recommended to replace the condenser every time the compressor fails, and since you'll have to remove it anyway, it's better to buy one instead.

I bought a Chinese dryer first because it was prime. Unfortunately it didn't fit so I ordered this one and it fits perfectly. The Chinese desiccant also came in an unsealed package. As this is a third party and not a first class seller, it took me 3 days to receive it (better than I expected) but my machine was not running during that time. The dryer is located in the condenser on the driver's side. I was able to mount it to my RX from the bottom without removing the capacitor. Remove the two…

Toyota Corolla S Sedan 4-Door 1.8L 2010 Release. The desiccant/dryer is the right size but the plugs that came with it will not fit this condenser and there is no new o-ring for the current plug so I just reused what I had but it would be nice to have a new o-ring Having ring I didn't know what size I would need until I removed the dryer plug. It's easy to install, just remove the metal plug from the driver's side condenser with an allen wrench. It would seem that without removing the radiator…
