Do you need to replace the expansion valve on a drier?
If the system has been open to the atmosphere (due to the leak in the condenser), the desiccant in the drier has been fully saturated with moisture. As far as the expansion valve, replacement is not normally implicated in a leak repair, in your case a leak in the condenser.

Why does my air conditioner have an expansion valve?
If your air conditioning (AC) has been less than helpful this summer, it may be the expansion valve (also known as an orifice tube). AC expansion valves regulate the flow of refrigerant through the AC system and if the valves fails they can cause problems with the whole system.
When do I need to replace the drier and Expans?
If no diagnostic was performed, and there is no evidence of a fault, then it is pointless to replace the valve. But, again, drier replacement is absolutely essential.

When to replace an A / C receiver drier?
Receiver/driers are used in expansion valve equipped A/C systems. It is the job of the receiver/drier to protect the rest of the A/C system against moisture damage. The desiccant bag can only hold a finite amount of moisture. If too much water gets into the system, the receiver/drier should be replaced.
When does an expansion valve need to be replaced?
Unless the compressor failed internally, sending debris/burnt oil throughout the AC system, the expansion valve doesn’t require replacement.
Can a dryer be replaced with an AC compressor?
While a lower estimate may seem appealing, it may not include a replacement AC dryer, which can wreak havoc on your AC system. At Rivergate Muffler & Auto Repair, we will always make the necessary repairs to your AC dryer when working on your compressor.

Do you have to replace your dryer when replacing your AC?
While this may seem unnecessary to some mechanics, most would agree that this is a good rule for replacing the AC dryer. In fact, most compressor warranties require that the dryer also be replaced if the AC system is worked on.

What’s the best way to replace an AC compressor?
Add the specified amount for the components you are replacing. It would be a good idea to pour out as much oil from your old compressor as you can and measure it to make sure you put the same amount into the new one. I just looked up the spec on Mitchell.
Do you need expansion valves when installing a compressor?
Frankly you didn’t need the condenser and expansion valves either unless there is something wrong with those parts. Since you are installing a new compressor, make sure you evacuate the a/c lines once the compressor is installed and before you charge it with refrigerant.
What kind of oil does an AC drier use?
For AC systems they have R134a and PAG oil separate, they mix together but generally can’t use a proportioned amount unless you have high dollar machinery in which case you input the make and model and it’ll do the rest. In my case, I need to add the oil manually and then get the system charged at a shop afterwards with plain R134a
Where is the expansion valve on a car?

Do you add oil directly to the compressor?
Discussion in ‘ 1st Gen. Tacomas (1995-2004) ‘ started by ThunderOne, May 29, 2018 . I know you add a specified amount of oil directly to the compressor before install.
How much drier do you need for a condenser?
Looks like the condenser calls for 1.4-1.7 ounces. Drier calls for 0.7 ounces. Then use the balance method to determine amount needed in the compressor. Edit: that’s for an ‘01. Not sure what year ur truck is or if there were any changes made in newer/older 1st gen years I just looked up the spec on Mitchell.
