Compressor replacement suggestions?

NEED NEW COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSOR WHAT is a good brand ?can you access expansion valve through glove box instead of taking dash down ? any decent kits own 2005 Tacoma 2.7

 

Denso is good, cannot help on your other questions.

 

No need to remove the dash to get to the expansion valve. You get to it from under the hood through the fire wall.

 

THANK YOU IS THIS FOR A 2005 TACOMA 2.7 EVERYTHING I READ STATES TO TAKE DASH APART AGAIN THANK YOU WHERE DID YOU GET THE PICS

 

Ease off the all caps. ( it is considered as yelling or screaming in the internet).

The images are from the 2005 Toyota Tacoma Shop Service Manual.

sorry did not know protocol for internet about caps I am a geezer just learning again thank you

 

Here are some more pictures for you. Don't forget the filter in the tube.

 

Wow! That's nasty. I leave AC work to the pros, so I've never seen anything like that. So, did the compressor make obvious noise indicating failure, in that truck?

 

yes plus a dye check warranty will not cover compressor unless condenser and expansion valve are replaced

 

Just posted the below in another older thread, and then noticed this one. To sum it up, dealer says they can't remove the expansion valve form the firewall due to the fact that the 'mode case' housing (diagram attached) and/or the insulation in the firewall will prevent access to the valve.

My symptoms are cool air on the drivers side and progressively warmer air in the vents toward the passenger's side. Brand new compressor and full charge, so hoping expansion valve and/or filter might be the issue.

Can those of you who have done it confirm that neither the mode case housing nor the insulation was obstructing access to the expansion valve through the firewall?

Thanks for any info!

Cheers,

Chris

 

I'm sure it did make some noise...

These are images I located on Tacoma World by searching. It is amazing what you find.

 

thank you

 

can you reapply the torx t25 bolts and pull valve?

 

You should be able to screw in the Torx E10 and pull it out after you remove the T25 Bolts.
