2 Answers
In the high-pressure pipe near the left side of the car. The following is a related introduction to the Toyota Reiz: 1. Introduction one: The Reiz is a model under FAW Toyota, which has been discontinued and is no longer sold. The Reiz is positioned as a mid-size car, and its body size data is considered moderate among its peers, but at that time, the Reiz's body size data was relatively large. 2. Introduction two: The Reiz entered the domestic market in 2005. At that time, the domestic automotive industry was not very developed, and the Reiz earned the reputation of "Big Rear-Wheel Drive Supercar" due to its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and V6 engine. The last model of the Reiz was the 2013 version, which included seven models, all meeting the China V emission standard.
The air conditioning expansion valve of the Toyota Mark X is typically located on the high-pressure refrigerant line in the engine compartment, often near the firewall or compressor outlet, with exact position varying by model year. As a mechanic with years of experience, I frequently handle such issues. The expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator - when faulty, it may cause poor cooling performance, warm air output, or squealing noises. During repair, first disconnect the refrigerant lines and use specialized tools to remove the valve for inspection of blockages or leaks, while wearing protective gear to avoid injury from refrigerant discharge. After installing a new valve, vacuum evacuation and refrigerant recharge are required for testing. Biennial maintenance is recommended. DIY attempts should be cautious; professional inspection at an auto shop is advised to ensure safe and efficient system operation.
