Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: How to know if I have a parallel flow condenser?, parallel flow condenser, chrysler town and country


Question
Hi, I have an '07 Chrysler Town and Country Touring, with front and rear air.  My compressor went to shrapnel, and I've been flushing everything out.  But, I don't know if this has a serpentine or parallel flow condenser.  It looks like the whole front body has to be removed to replace or even get a good look at it, and I'd rather not do that if there is any way to tell for sure which style it is from the VIN or model year or something.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.  Thanks!

Answer
Your vehicle should have a parallel flow condenser making it difficult to get all of the particulate matter out of the system.  I would highly recommend installing an after market filter in the suction line for the compressor AND changing the filter/drier
