Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this valve come with O-rings?

It is recommended to check the specific package contents, but typically you should always source new, manufacturer-recommended O-rings when performing this repair.

Can I install this myself without a professional?

Only if you possess an AC recovery machine and the necessary certification to handle refrigerants; otherwise, professional installation is required by law in many jurisdictions.

How long does the warranty last?

The Valeo 509959 includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects.

What is the weight of the valve?

The valve weighs 0.24 kg.

Why is it important to match the part number?

AC systems are calibrated specifically to the expansion valve's orifice size; using an incorrect part can lead to poor cooling or total compressor failure.

Troubleshooting

AC blowing warm air

Check for proper refrigerant levels and ensure the expansion valve is not clogged or stuck in the closed position.

Evaporator icing up

Often caused by a failed expansion valve stuck open; verify the valve's response to thermal input and inspect for moisture in the system.

Low-side pressure reading abnormally high

This may indicate an expansion valve failing to restrict flow correctly; replace the unit and perform a system flush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Verify Fitment: Always cross-reference the 509959 part number with your vehicle’s specific make, model, and AC system requirements before attempting installation.
  2. System Evacuation: Before removing the old valve, the refrigerant must be safely recovered by a certified technician using appropriate recovery equipment.
  3. Cleanliness: The AC system is extremely sensitive to moisture and debris. Always cap open lines immediately and ensure all O-rings are replaced during the installation of the new valve.
  4. Oil Lubrication: Use only the refrigerant oil type and amount specified by your vehicle manufacturer on the new valve seals to prevent premature wear.
