Models Affected:

1989-later 911 Carrera 2/4, 1991-later 911 Turbo and 1995 911 Carrera

Under certain circumstances, refrigerant loss from the area of the expansion valve pipe connections can be misdiagnosed as a defective expansion valve.

As of production date October 1993, a longer bolt has been used in the installation of the A/C lines to the expansion valve. The new bolt is installed as a precaution to prevent the expansion valve from distorting, which could cause a leak at the pipe connections on the expansion valve.

Repair Information:

Use the new bolt, M6 x 30 mm (P/N 900 074 015 02) (see Fig. 1) when repairs to the expansion valve are necessary.

The torque specification for the bolt is 10 Nm. Do not exceed this torque.
