Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ New EVAPORATOR - Enhanced EVAP Core/Assembly by Justin Luna

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It took A LOT of bending to get the Premium ISO/TS 16949 Quality Expansion Valve

It was packaged great so I can't figure out how/why I had to bend the aluminum so much to get everything in the right place for the expansion valve. Then, even when everything seemed to be in place, the smaller tube had to be firmly tightened by tightening the nut, which I did after leaving it in the hot sun all day to make the aluminum more flexible. It only grabbed the very first thread and had to go down almost 2cm to fit. After all that, the part that tucks into the firewall to connect to the rest of the lines turned out to be a bit diagonal, but it managed to fit halfway decently. It's all set now and seems to be holding up pressure but I'll hold my ground. UV light is useful to check for leaks. If it goes well in a few weeks I'll up my rating to 4 but definitely at least a star because I had to bend the damn thing so hard to even it out. That made me VERY uncomfortable.

Pros
  • ; Tested to or above OEM specs
Cons
  • No performance
