Expansion Valve Replacement?
I'm replacing the compressor and receiver/dryer on my 380sl, and was wondering whether it's really necessary to replace the expansion valve, too, as I haven't had one of those catastrophic failures that contaminates the system.
Obviously, I'd rather not replace the valve if the odds are good that it's OK, since it looks like a harder job than replacing the compressor.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
