Product Details

Four Seasons 39296 is an A/C expansion valve used to meter refrigerant flow into the evaporator and maintain proper system balance. This valve uses female insert O-ring fittings on the liquid and suction sides, with FIO-style connections and OE-matched dimensions for the liquid inlet, liquid outlet, suction inlet, and suction outlet. The design includes the specified green O-ring service points and is built for R134A air conditioning systems found in Saab 9-5 vehicles across the 1999-2009 model years. If you are replacing a worn or restricted Saab 9-5 expansion valve, part number 39296 provides the correct block-style configuration for the application.

Four Seasons Expansion Valve components are identified for HVAC service work where accurate refrigerant control is required. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 217296, 759585) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Inconsistent cabin cooling on Saab 9-5 models
• Restricted refrigerant flow through the evaporator circuit
• Improper A/C pressure balance in R134A systems
• Expansion valve wear or internal sticking
• HVAC performance issues tied to a failed block-type valve

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses the correct block-type expansion valve layout before installation. Match the suction and liquid fitting sizes, thread diameters, and O-ring style to the original unit on the Saab 9-5. Clean sealing surfaces carefully and inspect the A/C system for contamination or debris before reassembly. After installation, evacuate and recharge the system according to factory service procedures for R134A applications.

Quality Assurance

Four Seasons 39296 is listed as meeting or exceeding OEM requirements for the specified application. It is engineered for direct replacement use in 1999-2009 Saab 9-5 HVAC service.
