How to install an A/C Expansion Valve on Dodge Caliber?

Ensure the oil level in the refrigerant is correct before anything else, to avoid a malfunction in the A/C system and damage to the compressor. You should use the chart of Refrigerant Oil Capacities to know the right amount of oil to use when replacing several A/C elements. Whenever you detach lines from the expansion valve or remove the valve, always use a new O-ring on the refrigerant line to prevent leaks. Remember to unplug or remove the tape from the refrigerant line fittings and the expansion valve ports. Cover the refrigerant line and evaporator tube fittings with clean refrigerant oil, insert the specified R-134a O-ring seals and secure them with the recommended A/C refrigerant oil. After that, connect the A/C expansion valve to the evaporator tube tapping block and fasten it with two bolts tightened to 11 Nm (97 in. lbs.). Directly connect the A/C liquid and suction line assembly to the expansion valve and attach them firmly with a bolt, making the tightness 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Mount the heat shield to the studs in the engine compartment dash panel and use nuts to hold it, tightening all to 1 Nm (10 in. lbs.). Return the negative battery cable, flush out the refrigerant, add refrigerant oil where necessary and start charging the refrigerant system into the unit.
