Four Seasons A/C Expansion Valve P/N:38602
Control the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator with the Four Seasons A/C Expansion Valve 39454, a block-type valve that meters high-pressure liquid refrigerant into the evaporator core to regulate cabin cooling. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2015 Smart Fortwo (All engines).
The expansion valve senses evaporator conditions and adjusts how much refrigerant passes into the core. If a stuck or worn expansion valve is behind weak cooling, inconsistent cabin temperatures, or frost/icing at the evaporator, replacing it addresses that cause; diagnose the system before ordering, as those signs can have other causes. Mounting hardware is not included.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 39454.
