About the Four Seasons Expansion Valve Product Line

The Expansion Valve line from Four Seasons focuses on delivering components that maintain optimal refrigerant flow and temperature regulation within automotive A/C systems. The 39687 model exemplifies this with its block-type design and precise sizing, tailored to meet the demands of specific Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including the A3 Sportback e-tron and e-Golf.

Detailed Product Description

This A/C expansion valve is crafted from aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and durability under varying operating conditions. It is designed for use with R134a refrigerant, the standard for many modern automotive air conditioning systems.

The O-ring style connections on both liquid and suction sides ensure a secure, leak-resistant fit. With liquid inlet and outlet sizes of No. 6 and No. 8, and suction inlet and outlet sizes of No. 10 and No. 12 respectively, this valve matches OEM specifications for seamless integration.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Restores proper refrigerant flow in Audi A3 Sportback e-tron A/C systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. The O-ring style connections require careful handling to avoid damage and ensure a tight seal. It is recommended to replace O-rings during installation to prevent leaks. Proper evacuation and recharge of the A/C system with R134a refrigerant should follow valve replacement to maintain system integrity.
