a/c expansion valve?
Does anyone on here messed around on replacing their expansion valve? I'm still wondering if the dash needs to be removed in order to access it ... still my ISF blows hot air

It's in the HVAC blower housing and yes, the dash has to come out to get to it. You'll also need to purge and evacuate the system to do anything with it.

So says the man who has never actually done the job...I'm sorry, but it's a real PITA and the likelihood of damaging something (because so many bits get moved in the process) is pretty high. Sure dealer techs do this, but what do they charge you to do it? Few people would pay to have a dash removed unless it was a warranty issue. It took two full days of effort to change out the dash in my Supra, but I had one of only 9 remaining left hand drive dashes in the world, so I made absolutely certain I didn't botch the job.
