Fits 2008-2011 Ford Focus, N/A. Use this expansion valve when servicing the A/C system on a Ford Focus and replacing the flow control component at the evaporator inlet. The part number 3411498 also helps confirm the correct replacement during ordering and diagnosis.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Improper refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Flow restriction issues in the refrigerant circuit
• Replacement needs during Ford Focus A/C repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and A/C system configuration before installation. Replace the expansion valve during A/C service when the system has been opened, and inspect related seals, lines, and the evaporator inlet area for contamination or wear. Proper evacuation and recharge procedures are required 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 efficiency.
