Hello All,
for as many Honda Odysseys are out there, their forum support isnt helping me, so I thought I'd ask here. Some of the wisdom will cross over in MB-land Im sure.
The Harbor Freight sniffer tells me that the front Evaporator is leaking on my 2009 Honda Odyssey. I cant find any dye or oil traces anywhere outside the dashboard so I am inclined to believe it (it beeps faster in the inside airsteam and in the drain underneath the van...). caveat - it is from Harbor Freight
It looks like this *might* be a job you can do without removing the whole dashboard, but I havent found good youtubes/pdfs on how to do this - Im still looking...
Question is this: If I do this myself, should I replace the TXV (Thermal Expansion valve) at the same time ? (it is only $20 from the dealer....)
It looks like Im in for the evap coil, a small bottle of PAG oil and o-rings, but I was curious if the TXV's wear out or get old...ever.
thoughts ?
-John
