Re: Expansion valve?

Ok, thanks for your response !

110 PSI engine not running, but hot. Ambient only 15C.... some kind of mixed juice in the R12 system. Was the same with R12 though.

High side 150 PSI, low side 54 PSI @ idle and 1500 rpm

High side 130 PSI, low side 60-65 PSI @ 2500 rpm.

Interestingly enough the low side never went down below 60 PSI again.

I will order a new compressor - do you know if the later compressor fits my 1992 for sure? I will charge with R134a. I know the expansion valve should be replaced with one with correct calibration, but it is quite a hassle... oh well.

Any thoughts?
