Denso A/C Expansion Valve - 475-2005 (Fits Select Models and Years of Lexus, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, and Toyota Vehicles)

It works perfectly! The right part !!

2001 Toyota Camry LE V6, 1MZFE engine. I didn’t have AC for a over a year. The AC would work for 30 minutes tops until it would end up blowing hot air. This was on a day by day basis and whenever it would rain, the windows would fog up because I had no AC to defog the windows. First mechanic told me the compressor is going bad…. I had the refrigerant removed, replaced the compressor, charged AC back up but still had the same issue. Next mechanic told me to replace the pressure switch on top of the AC drier canister…. Refrigerant removed and replaced the pressure switch along with the AC drier canister, charged the AC back up but still had same issue. Next mechanic told me its my evaporator… however replacing the evaporator in this car requires removal of the ENTIRE dash!! A task I did not want to do. I figured I would just replace the condenser instead… Refrigerant removed, replaced the condensor, AC charged back up and still the same issue. I was determined not to remove the entire dash so I ended up ordering this Denso expansion valve part, removed refrigerant, installed the part, and had the AC charged back up and its blowing cold air like new now. All along it was a $20 part….but now I basically have a brand new AC system minus the evaporator. Cant go wrong with Denso…. Always go denso when possible. Great quality parts!!

A must when replacing compressors or any a/c components that may potentially be damaged. In other words cheap insurance as you need to re-charge you system after so why have to waste money and do it again? Plus compressor companies may require the expansion valve to be replaced for warranty purposes. Anyways this was for a 1998 camry v6 1mz if that matters. NO the DASH does not need to be fully removed like you see in youtube videos. Glove box needs to be removed and the blower motor assembly then you should be able to see the wrapped lines going to the expansion valve. Should take you roughly 1hr or so with basic hand tools. Fits as should plus new o-rings included. Certains parts I prefer Denso (OEM) over cheaper no name cause I don't want to take things apart again or have to pay to properly charge system again

Replaced the entire A/C system in my 2003 Tacoma 3.4L. Used this expansion valve. So far so good. A/C is cold.

Is not a Denso part like they advertise
