Application Details

This Universal Air Block Expansion Valve is cataloged for 2009-2011 Kia Rio and 2010-2011 Kia Forte HVAC systems that use a block-style expansion valve. The EX9760C is the correct type of A/C expansion valve for vehicles listed with the noted temperature-control and production-date restrictions, making it a focused replacement for Kia Forte and Kia Rio air conditioning service work.

Common Issues It May Address

  • Inconsistent A/C cooling performance
  • Restricted refrigerant flow through the expansion valve
  • Improper evaporator feed control
  • Loss of cabin cooling efficiency in listed Kia applications
  • Service replacement for a worn or malfunctioning block expansion valve

This part is not compatible with Automatic Temperature Control on the listed 2011 Kia Forte, and the 2010 Kia Forte application applies only without Automatic Temperature Control and from 01/06/2010. Confirm the original valve style and match the part number EX9760C against the existing component and vehicle build details before installation.
