Title: AC valves
Post by: Shackeng on 03 April 2014, 15:53:17
As I am about to change the condenser on my TD, I think I should also fit new valves to preclude leakage. Do these just screw out with a standard tyre valve removiing tool? :-\ :-\ :-\

Thanks Andy, useful for the part number(s). On Josh's thread, biggriffin mentions a valve behind the glove box. Given the - relative - difficulty in removing same, does this also need a precautionary change? :-\ :y

It's the expansion valve (No10) AFAIK ie not a user serviceable part ......never been anywhere near it.

Wasn't bad was it ..... not my doing though. It's been many a year since I've had anything to do with a fridge circuit  ;)
