Expansion valve help

[roadburner]

Hello,
yesterday,we've checked my Aircondition compressor.It seems to be ok.So we think that maybe the expansion valve doesn't work anymore.
Does somebody know how to remove the valve?

Thx

Have you put a set of guages on the system?

[roadburner]

No,because it's difficult to find someone who's checking AC's filled with R12.
Do you got any idea?

Hi,

You could get an R-12 A/C manifold (A/C Parlance for gauge set) on eBay. These are fairly plentiful and going pretty cheap.

Also, once set-up with the manifold, you can easily become CFC certified for under $20 online and be licenced to purchase R-12 directly. I've done this and it's really a snap, now I can do all my own work.
Happy Motoring! ...Jim'85TE

Hey Jim,

If I recall, RB is out in the EU somewhere, .DE?

Not to change the subject, but ball-park, how long does it take to pull an exhaust manifold in-situ? 89 non-SE. Any tricks?

Dr. Hess,

See the new message with the subject, "Exhaust Manifold Replacement - Esprit Turbo"

Is the system on the Esprit like a heat pump ie reversible to provide heating or cooling or cooling only.

I work as a refrigeration engineer but haven't done cars. Heat pumps, coolstores etc.
