Hi I need help I don't know what the air control valve looks like
on my 03 S Type R I want to change the O rings but I don't know where it located or what it looks like.. Can some take A picture so I can see what it looks like and know were its located..
thanks..

 

anyone please.

 

If you are capable of doing A/C work and know why, then you should not have trouble locating it. Please realise you should not undertake such work lightly.
Save yourself a lot of grief and get the workshop manual (ebay $5).

 

Thank you..

 

I assume you are referring to the DCCV.

Here is a picture of my DCCV. It is from a 2005 3.0 V6 though.

 

That's a water (engine coolant) valve.... he says air!
If you guessed right WELL DONE. No O rings on it, though.
The rest of us all wonder which valve he meant

 

Mine is XJ40 ,I don't know whether it is identical or different (most prolly different ) still I thought I had to suggest you to take a look at this thread below

Air Valve you wanna learn is something like that ,hope this gives you an idea

 

I saw only a/c parts. Which one is the "air valve"? Has it got O rings?

 

I think the extreme right image (the metal part on the table) should be an air valve .
But hey I just remember there is a member in here "jaguarclimatecontrol" .I saw his a couple of posts and he seems very pundit on A/C Systems
So, he would clear the things straight

 

That's a valve for air? What does it do as part of an a/c system? I'm lost here. I've done a small amount of work on some a/c systems but have no idea what an air valve would be.

 

I don't know much details sorry . they also call it expansion valve if you read the messages in the thread . I hope our experts shed some lights on this thread soon

 

An expansion valve oddly enough lets the compressed refrigerant expand LOL
Nothing to do with air, though. Maybe the OP could finally explain.

 

I join the rest in wondering what valve he meant. I just took a WAG on air control valve translating to heater control valve and then to DCCV. Guess Richard's job is safe for the time being.
