I will have to buy an expansion valve and a AC receiver dryer for the A/C of my MY 1993 964.

With the expansion valve I have no doubts since i get the same info in different web pages (the usual ones) itīs a 928 part Number 928 573 123 05

But for the Reciever drier I have an issue because apparently the part changed from 1993 on.

May be 944 573 143 01 (newer part) or 964 573 943 00 (older part)

How can I be sure which to buy?

Let me look in my thread... I think I have it there. It is actually a Honda part if I remember correctly.

This is the one I bought... US$69.00

gracias Jaime!!!

But I am still not sure for my car ( it was built 02/93 according to the sticker ) I suppose itīs the "1993 on" part isnīt it.

Is the difference whether or not the seals are rated for R-134a (which was used from '93 on)?

Henry964

thanks cwrm4!!!

Maybe thatīs the reason...

Iīve noticed your car is from the same year as mine, does yours use 134e?

cwrm4

Yes, I believe all '93 cars were R-134a. In fact, mine was built 12/92. The sticker at the bottom edge of the engine bay should indicate the refrigerant type:

I am converting to r134, Do I need new seals in the pump?

Henry you can buy a 1989 honda civic reciever drier which is the same one as on our car, ive had 2 on my 1991 turbo and they work well. So you may wanna see what those cost. I think i got both of mine off of ebay for like 12 dollars each.

Wachuko

Yes. New O-rings and you will need to replace dryer and oil in the system. Here is the kit that Griffiths sells.



Not related, no interests, blah blah blah. Just one happy customer...

Wachuko

Henry, yours is a 93. You should have R134a. No need for O-rings unless you have a leak in the system. There are inexpensive enough that is not a big expense to get then just in case they are needed.

Dryer is in the wheel well (front, driver side for lhd)



To get to the expansion valve you do not need to remove the gas tank... just the small vent tank on top of it and the wall. This will give you the space you need to swap expansion valves.



Remember to empty the freon before you start all this...
