Thanks for the video! This is the same process for the gs400 and gs430 too.
Yea basically same car but I think GS might be tighter reach to get to it under dash.
@TunerwithKids it's tight, especially for big dudes over 6ft and 275....I am pretty sure my issue is the compressor, but I'm leaning towards this valve and maybe my condensor. Start with the cheaper parts and work my way on up, especially on these old cars!
@kevinwashington7311 the parts are cheap so if you open the system, might as well do it all.
What is the point of wrapping it in rubber and then foam? I just replaced my expansion valve and it’s uncovered now. Can I just put normal tape over it?
Condensation. Without the insulation it will sweat and drip all over the floor.
hi Binh, thx for the great video. Do I have to vaccumn the ac system before and after replace the valve then recharge the system? Thx.
Yes. Always flush and pull a vacuum for 45 mins after you open system. Else you risk contamination and moisture in the lines.
@@TunerwithKids hello Binh, have a question. I have oil leak at the exhaust manifold, I replaced the gaskets, OEM ones from dealer, but still leaked at the same location. Have you encountered anything like that? Thx in advance for your advice.
Hello, im confused about the comments made about drilling. I must have missed something but I saw no drilling
That’s the old expansion valve that you drill out to open up for flushing the system. I have separate video on flushing.
Hey Binh, quick question about how to flush the AC System. I watched your guide on flushing the system, and from my understand I'm supposed to remove the old expansion valve as shown in this video drill it out, and reinstall it and bolt it back down then flush the system right?
Yes. That way the flush moves thru correctly. Leaving it in without drill out will now move the flush and dirt.
Also i notice my mode servo is out, could it lead to not cold problem?
No. Just won’t blow it out the other vents.
why did you replace it?
Cause it’s a maintenance part. Everytime you open the system, it should be replaced for $40.
My GS300 not blowing cold air, plug in the pressure gauge and it is in red (high) pressure. AC clutch is engaged, do you think it is the expansion valve getting clogged?
Yes. Over pressure on high side and no pressure on low is clogged valve.
Hi, where could I get an is250 4x4 2007 axle tip?
yea...the daytime brights but its daytime, so no one will care.
How’s the wrap does it twist at all
Wrap? You mean the insulation?
Great video. Did you extract the refrigerant prior to the expansion valve replacement? I'm in the process of watching all your AC diagnosis videos for my 1998 GS300.
Yea you gotta take it somewhere to evacuate and recycle it.
