- I replaced the AC expansion valve on a 2009 Toyota Camry, AC was warm, this fixed it. Air freon mixing wasn't happening. This applies to other years, 2007-8-9-10-11-12 and possible others. The Nissan Altima uses the same set up.
This worked on a 2011 Scion TC we actually took all the dashboard until we saw this video... you don’t have to do none of that lol thank you so much for the video very informative!
I was looking on alldata. They don't give instructions for just the expansion valve, and it sure looked like the only way was to take apart that entire dash, which they rate as an 8.8 hour job, which means it would take me at least 12. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought this has to be accessible from the firewall. Thank you for confirming that!
Thanks bro- big help. Quick explanation. No unecessary junk. 2012 Camry SE
Glad i found this video on time... great help... exactly what i was looking for... DIY replaced my valve on my Camry 09 within 1 hour. THANKS
Thank you this worked on a 2010 corolla.
Bro you just answered my questions. So i dont have to remove the dash to replace the exoansion valve ?
I have a 2013 and i was wondering if you have to remove the dash.
I confirm that It worked on my 2010 Corolla S
Did you have to evacuate the system first
Thanks I used this method on a 2009 Corolla.
Did you took the dash out? I have a 09 toyota corolla
Thank you so much even though I haven't done it it seems right for my situation.
Great! This is exactly what my 2010 Toyota Camry LE 2.5L has. It's a pain in that it is way inside on the firewall, but it is easily accessible.
I have camry 2011, freon pressure good, acutator work as well, however passenger side cold but driver warm, could it be because of valve? thx
Excuse me where is it on camry 1999 tht expansion ?
Just to clarify, your Camry was NOT cooling at all. Then you changed the exp valve and it's working fine now?
Would this work on a 2007 toyota matrix
What year is that Camry and will it work on a 2004 and us you said six hours of work it took you?
Thank you, thank you..... times saver
Thanks for your help 👍
Happy to help
So those two screws are what secure it to the evap core? I have an 05 Camry so would it be the same as this?
Yes. This attached the expansion valve to the core. You can see the inside connection ports at 2:03. Change the orings here, oil them, and an place the new expansion valve on them. The 2 4mm hex bolts will tighten the expansion valve onto the core.
The video never shows the expansion valve in position either before or after.
I’ve replaced my expansion valve 2 times on ‘03 Camry and i still get a small leak. I followed steps carefully. Maybe I need to the mounting bolts more?
Are you sure the leak is coming from the expansion valve? If did this steps, you shouldn't have leaks. Make sure to replace those little rubber washers on all tips if any. You might need to get a leak detector, to see where is the leak coming from. Sometimes it could be as simple as one of the things where you put the freon that could be leaking. Put some water with soap there and see if it bubbles.
@@Wedoitalltohelp please help a single lady out . Is the expansion valve love it in the dash of a 2004 Camry if not will you please show me where it’s at
Very informative video !! Does anyone know if this is the same on a 2006 corolla ?
Take a look at the firewall location, if you can see it, you can do it.
Thanks a million !!
Out of curiosity, what do you mean with warm? No cooling at all, even while driving? Thanks
Is it charged with freon? Is the compressor cloth working?
If it is cooling while driving but blows fan air when idling then check your AC cooling fan. The orifice tube/expansion valve if partly clogged will likely only reduce the coolness of your AC but if it is completely blocked you will likely only feel warm air out of your AC or in my case it blew cold for up to 5 minutes then it would only blow fan air. It caused my evaporator core to get a leak and needed replaced also.
@@tcaldwell1782 Most likely you had severe moisture contamination and after the 5 minute mark the tiny TXV orifice just plugged up with ice. The same moisture that ended up eating your evaporator from within.
Is this location and procedure possible on a 93' Camry? Thank you!
No different Ac Core under dash .passenger side .I replace my on 96 toyota Camry Cold Ac now
Do I have to drain the Freon before I take this off?
Yes you do
Hi , do i need release freon before removing valve? thx
Yes you do
We didn't see when or how you take off the old 1😮😮
2003 Toyota Camry is behind the dash on the passenger side :-(
I am assuming you have to evacuate the system before replacing this?
Correct
What do you mean evacuate the system?
Ermes Rojas to remove any refrigerant remaining in the system by means of a recovery machine
@@kwiz8848 oh ok. I was going to do it myself but now probably not then
It can be done i would only suggest having someone there with experience i learned the hard way lol
I can't find.the expansion valve in any place to buy it? Does it has another name?
No, try online.
rockauto
It is also known as an orifice tube. It's only $67.00 for my 2007 Toyota Camry 2.4,l for this part from the dealership. I am hoping I can access it on my car this way also.
Amazon
I found one for my 2007 Toyota at AutoZone for $24
I have a 2004 Toyota Camry and I don't even see this part on my car.. it's just a wall with padding
Not where the 2004 would have it. Not really mechanic, just sharing how did that car hoping it will help others.
@@Wedoitalltohelp well I'm basically screwed cause to have that changed by a mechanic would cost me😏
This video does not show you removing the expansion valve?
