    D3 Air con trouble

    Got a quote from the place in East Perth. They wanted $825 to replace the compressor’s electronic control valve. Same symptoms as the others with slow to start cooling. Pressures measure fine, no indication of the Black Death.
    I’m going to try and fix it myself, taking it to get it degassed, will replace the valve and regas. My only concern is whether I can get the valve out without air pressure. We’ll see how I go D3 Air con trouble

    Oh and for whatever reason the 3.0L has a clutch unlike the other models.

    I have an HSE too and I seem to recall that it has a separate unit for the rear aircon. Vague recollection of it being in the nearside rear wheel arch cavity. Wouldn't bet the house on it though

    There is a rear Fan and evaporater coil in the compartment above the left rear wheel arch.
    One compresser under the bonnet serves both evaporater coils.

    I have a valve on the shelf I need to fit. I’ve heard it’s helped by extracting the Gas, undoing the locking circlip, then pressurising the system with nitrogen which ejects the valve pronto!

    I’m going to get someone to extract the gas, refill with a little nitrogen for positive pressure, swap the valve myself, then take it back for a regas

    Sounds good you’ll save a heap my cost a bit (it was quoted) never found out if it took as long as the estimate. Should take a photo guide as you do if you can be bothered for others in the future.
