How many O-rnigs needed to replace w/ Expansion Valve? Posted by RS [Email] (#15) [Profile/Gallery] (more from RS) on Wed, 3 Aug 2005 13:06:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I was getting a bit tired of being Boston baked Yankee a la black SPG in the Atlanta sun and I tried recharging my A/C.
After seeing this white cloud of mist (not R-12) scream forth from the evaporator housing, I figured out that the fine people who redid my A/C system left the expansion valve capillary tube pushed right up next to a steel clip. The capillary tube vibrated up against the clip and got a hole worn in it. #$%#(*$&%!!! No wonder it worked one year and not the next. All the hoses and the compressor were new.
At least the hole isn't in the evaporator.
What do I need to know to replace the evpansion valve (besides put in a new reciever/drier and keep it under a vacuum for 30 minutes after it's all together)?
*&$%*&$
TIA
