Default 08 ZO6 repair manual?

Hello Boys and Girls.. Im looking for the ZO6 repair manual, and i wonder if any body of CF members can share me a copy :P.

Im mainly interested in the AC system, id do have a little problem with the AC system and i cant locate the gas dryer tank, i tried looking for it but i cant find the dam thing.

I tried ordering it from the dealer and they told me the 08 zo6 dosnt have a dryer :O. I cant believe it dosnt have a dryer. every ac system in the world must have a dryer, it like the engine oil filter, you cant have an engine with out oil filer.

The system has some blockage in the lines and i think the dryer "filter" is blocked, some ac systems have the dryer built in with condenser and i started to think that's the case here... me dosnt want to believe that idea, cuz in that case i will need a new condenser .

i already changed the expansion valve with no luck "had to order it and wait for two weeks".

If anybody have a schematic diagram for the ac system and will to share it with me that would be awesome.


Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't this stuff be covered under warranty?

Unfortunately the car has no warranty and the owner is not interested about warranty at all .

A 2008 should still be under warranty.

I'm sure one exists but I can't imagine what mod you could do that would void the A/C system warranty.

Don't mean to argue, but how can an 08 not have a warranty? Even if the motor has 3000 hp, the air conditioning system should be covered.

Default Refrigerant filter

I looked through my 2008 manual and it doesn't look like there is a dryer like my '70 Corvette had (large cylinder with the sight glass - near the condenser). The only thing I see that fits the description of what you might be looking for is the "AC Refrigerant Filter". It appears to be a pencil-like affair that slips in to the front evaporator inlet line where this line goes into the A/C condenser. Hope that helps.

I'm assuming that there's no warranty coverage on this 2008 because it's been totaled or otherwise black-flagged in GM's system/the grid.

I don't have a scanner but took a quick photo of the part I mentioned. Hope it helps. Still best bet, as others have mentioned, is to get the set of shop manuals.
