It is a direct-fit style replacement for select BMW and Mini applications, including BMW X3 and Mini Cooper models, where stable evaporator feed control is critical to consistent cabin cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlock-type A\/C expansion valve for R134A refrigerant systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum construction with aluminum finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale insert O-ring liquid and suction connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hole quantity: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets or exceeds OEM requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: w\/o solenoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper heat setting: -1.500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with BMW and Mini HVAC service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Four Seasons Expansion Valve line focuses on accurate refrigerant flow control at the evaporator inlet. Part number 39035 uses female O-ring fittings on both suction and liquid sides, with No. 12 suction inlet and outlet thread diameters and No. 6 liquid inlet \/ No. 8 liquid outlet thread diameters. The valve is specified for R134A systems and is listed as a block type design, making it a practical replacement for vehicles that require OEM-style A\/C flow restriction and expansion control. This part cross-references UAC EX10151C for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2004-2010 BMW X3, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 BMW 325i, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 BMW 330i, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 BMW M3, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2005 BMW 320i, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2005 BMW 325xi, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2005 BMW 330xi, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2000 BMW 323Ci, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2000 BMW 323i, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2000 BMW 323ti, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2000 BMW 328Ci, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2000 BMW 328i, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1999 BMW 323i, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1999 BMW 323is, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1999 BMW 323ti, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon A\/C Issues This Part Addresses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm air from the vents caused by incorrect refrigerant metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven evaporator performance in BMW and Mini HVAC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of cooling efficiency after expansion valve wear or restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure imbalance in an R134A air conditioning circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermittent cabin cooling on vehicles with a failing block-style valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the vehicle uses an R134A system and verify the connection style, thread diameters, and mounting points before installation.
