Expansion Valve: Service and Repair

1 Discharge the refrigerant from the system. Release the high-pressure pipe connection at the expansion valve.





2 Fold away the black insulating material. As from the 1984 model, remove the protective cover.

3 Remove the compensating hose from the outlet hose.





4 Remove the two self-tapping screws holding the expansion valve capillary tube mounting and bend it out of the way.





5 Remove the inlet hose from the expansion valve.





Refit in the reverse order. Lubricate the couplings with refrigeration oil.

Charge the system with refrigerant.
