Global Parts 3411442 is an A/C expansion valve for vehicles that use an orifice-tube style refrigerant flow control at the evaporator. It meters refrigerant before it enters the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity efficiently. Compatible With 2007 Audi Q7 and 2004-2007 Volkswagen Touareg applications, including 2007 Volkswagen Touareg to VIN # 6052000.

Key Features

• Part number: 3411442
• A/C expansion valve/orifice tube design for refrigerant flow control
• Helps regulate refrigerant entering the evaporator
• Direct fit for select Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg applications
• Cross-references Four Seasons 39289 for the same application

Detailed Description

This Global Parts HVAC component is built for select Audi and Volkswagen A/C systems that require precise refrigerant metering at the evaporator. By slowing refrigerant flow before it reaches the evaporator, the valve helps the system use refrigerant cooling capacity effectively. Part number 3411442 also cross-references Four Seasons 39289 for the same application.

Compatible With 2007 Audi Q7, N/A. Compatible With 2004-2007 Volkswagen Touareg, N/A, and 2007 Volkswagen Touareg, N/A, to VIN # 6052000. If you are servicing an Audi Q7 or Volkswagen Touareg A/C system, verify the vehicle VIN and system design before ordering.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Weak or uneven cabin cooling
• Incorrect refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Restricted refrigerant flow in the HVAC circuit
• Need for replacement during A/C maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the A/C system for contamination, leaks, and debris before installation. Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C service when the system has been opened, and confirm the correct fitment for the specific Audi Q7 or Volkswagen Touareg application. Follow the vehicle service procedure for evacuation, recharge, and system verification after installation.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced to help maintain proper refrigerant control and cooling performance.
