Product Details

The Universal Air Block Expansion Valve line is built for vehicles that use a block-style A/C metering device rather than a tube-and-fin style restrictor. EX10180C is listed for multiple Porsche platforms, including Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Carrera GT, and Macan, along with select Volkswagen EuroVan and Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500 front applications. If you are servicing a Porsche 911 A/C expansion valve, Porsche Boxster HVAC repair, or a Volkswagen EuroVan rear climate system, this part number helps narrow the correct replacement.

Use EX10180C when replacing a worn or restricted expansion valve that affects refrigerant control, cabin cooling consistency, or evaporator performance. The part number EX10180C is also helpful when cross-checking service records or ordering by catalog reference.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or uneven cabin cooling
• Incorrect refrigerant flow into the evaporator
• A/C performance issues tied to a failing block expansion valve
• HVAC service needs on Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, and Macan models
• Front A/C repair on Dodge Sprinter 2500 and Sprinter 3500 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original valve style, port layout, and vehicle application before installation. This part is listed for N/A, front, and rear positions depending on the vehicle, so match the service location exactly to the catalog fitment. Confirm the system is properly evacuated and recharged after replacement, and inspect related A/C components for contamination or restriction before returning the vehicle to service.
