Well actually the thermal expansion valve or TX valve works and operates via a capillary tube which leads to a bulb which is filled with the same gas that's in the system it is usually tucked into a thermocouple or taped to the ingoing piping of the condenser and being the to same gas in the bulb as the system gas it will expand at the same rate thus opening and closing...for an easy explanation that anyone can understand dig this, we all know every system must have a hi side and a lo side but where in the world do these numbers come from? Well we all know from a gauge but how is a lo side and hi side achieved? It's sorta like the 2 numbers we use when taking ones blood pressure but as far as how does occur in an ac system picture this in your mind and you'll understand...imagine you're in a small room with nothing in it but a big compressor but if you look around in the room you'll find that there is a pinhole in one of the walls and all of the sudden the compressor comes on and the pressure quickly pressurizes the room but a small percentage is leaking through the pinhole so a hi side is created when compressor kicks on as is a lo side on the other side of the pinhole.. .without lopsided pressures there would be no cold and the expansion valve makes sure they stay lopsided....but there are other forces involved that must be tweaked for optimum performance such as a "superheat" setting but that's another ballgame, later people I hope that clarified some things
I know this is three years old and on the whole it's a great video. I would like to offer some counter advice though from a trained mechanic. NEVER EVER EVER REUSE THE GASKET, THEY ARE ONE TIME USE. ALWAYS USE A NEW SUMP GASKET. SECONDLY, ALWAYS REPLACE THE SEALING RING ON THE TOP OF THE FILTER HOUSING WHERE THE FILTER MEETS THE GEARBOX. tHEY AGE AND BECOME HARD THROUGH HEAT AND OIL EXPOSURE, THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU CHANGE THE FILTER YOU MUST ALWAYS REPLACE THAT SEALING RING. THIRDLY, DON'T WASh YOUr CHIT IN THE SINK, STAND OVER YOUR OIL DRAIN PAN AND CLEAN IT WITH BRAKE CLEANER. THE OIL AND GREASE WILL COME RIGHT OFF, IT WILL TAKE MINUTES AND YOU WON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH DISH SOAP AND WATER AND ILLEGALLY FLUSHING CONTAMINANTS INTO OUR WATER SUPPLY. I like the idea with the ratchet strap, very cool. Other than that there is some pretty questionable advice going on here that could end up costing folks much time and money and second go round repairs NOT TO MENTION THE HIGHLY ILLEGAL DUMPING OF CONTAMINANTS INTO OUR WATER SUPPLY. WHY NOT JUST DRAIN YOUR OIL DIRECTLY INTO THE RIVER AND CUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN?
Your water must work different where you’re from. We have septic tanks here, you know, where our shit goes? There are no sewer systems here. Anything that goes down our drains goes to the same place, we are not drinking recycled feces. Thanks for the useless comment. Trucks been great btw. Been doing this a long time and there has not been a single problem since I’ve done this repair. Hope you filter your water. 🤙
Hey, I love the RPF1s and TL-S brakes, but I need to know what spec your wheels are. I want to run 17x9 +35 RPF1s on my RSX, but don't know if those will clear the TL-S calipers. Thank you in advance!
I'm confused about the total fluid used - you recommend at 20:18 to get 4 full jugs (16qts), and 5qts of that is the final fill-up. However, you go on to say that you will use the rest of the fluid for flushing it 3 separate times, using 1qt each time.... based on that you would only need 2 gallon jugs.
No specific brand on the spacer. Just whatever I found on Amazon with quick shipping. I did not upgrade anything that I did not show in the video. The pedal did not change positions.
Much appreciate the video. It convinced me that I absolutely have the capability to do this job myself…and a far stronger desire to pay somebody else to do it. 😂
I had my washer fall Into oil pan I got a magnetic on a stick. Bent the stick and was able to extend it and was able to retrieve washer. Very simple and I didn't have to pull oil pan
Just curious, did you only do the bushings change on the cables or did you also replace the shifter base bushings inside the cabin (ie the ones that hold the actual stick). I’m curious about the difference it makes on just these bushings without doing the base ones. Great tutorial btw!
Hey I am having this same problem went to do a flush early this morning and found a bunch metal like substance transmission is actually not good and turns the check engine light feel like my problem might be like your and really worried
Working on an 02 base here. Looking to everything you did here minus the camber arms. Any suggestions after having this installed? Also is this the 22mm or 24mm sway bar form progress?
I know this video is several years old but thank you for taking the time to make this. After you completed installing the expansion valve did you recharge the system or did you have someone else do this? I am trying to find out how much PAG oil I need to add if we are only changing the expansion valve and nothing else? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Do you recommend this mount I got has ports but it didn’t come with the front I’m not running crazy power just factory so should I get this or the hardrace factory looking one?
1/2 inch socket !!!! Those take 13mm, vehicle is metric !!! You should drain any compressor oil into a container so you can measure it - like measure how much - if any - remained in the old compressor. Yes, you can add the oil to the compressor low side port, then when you get that mounted, manually rotate the compressor drive plate through like 10 revolutions using a socket and ratchet.
Hey now! Good stuff brother I was going to take it in and not deal with but after this, 18 pack of some ultra, time and Led Zeppelin and I’m going in… thanks man! Expansion is exactly like u said like a nozzle, helps drop the pressure for the low side as it goes into evaporator… Congratulations on new baby!!
I just replaced all my components on a 2015 with a locked up compressor. You need to flush your evaporater also I used 3 quarts until I got clean metal free fluid. Also condenser and the 2 hoses with mufflers. If you don't do all this the contamination will destroy your new compressor
