Detailed Description

The Universal Air Block Expansion Valve line focuses on rear A/C flow restriction control for specific factory HVAC layouts. EX10381C is a direct-fit style rear expansion valve application for the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7 platforms listed in the fitment data. If you are searching for a rear A/C expansion valve for 2004-2016 Volkswagen Touareg, rear, or a rear block expansion valve for 2007-2015 Audi Q7, EX10381C matches those applications.

This part number, EX10381C, is also relevant for 2017 Volkswagen Touareg rear auxiliary unit service where the fitment notes specify a block expansion valve. Use the confirmed vehicle fitment below to verify the exact rear HVAC configuration before ordering.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring rear cabin cooling control on affected Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7 models
  • Addressing uneven rear A/C performance
  • Correcting restricted refrigerant flow at the rear HVAC circuit
  • Replacing a leaking or malfunctioning rear expansion valve
  • Supporting proper evaporator operation in the rear climate system

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear HVAC layout and match the vehicle year, make, model, and notes exactly to the fitment listing before installation. EX10381C is a rear-position component, so access is typically through the rear climate system service area rather than the front A/C circuit. Verify refrigerant system condition, inspect related seals and lines, and follow the vehicle service procedure for evacuation and recharge after replacement.
