A/C Accumulator bottle AKA Dryer Bottle

Can anyone tell me if the there is a difference in the AC drier bottle in the 2nd gen cars. I need to get a new one and the Napa has a 86-87 turbo AC drier Bottle that looks the same in the picture as my 91 drier bottle. But I don't know if it is and I thought maybe someone on here might be able to tell me.

Thank you

You can take your old drier in and check it out. The correct part will have both the proper mounting bracket and the correct threads on the connectors. Don't let anyone sell you one that 'will work'.

I can tell you that the autozone and orielly's database is wrong on this part for the S5 NA. I had to take drier in and match it up in the book. I'm sorry I cannot remember what the car was that the correct part came from.

Good luck!

their part list should honestly say dealer installed or factory installed. that is the difference, not trim level.
dealer installed has bracket built in.
factory installed has separate bracket.

i don't know for sure if s4 and s5 are the same, but probably.

Thanks... I know that nappa's 86-87 turbo bottle looks like mine but I didn't know for sure it was the same and saw no reason for them to order something that might not work.
