so the temps are kinda high and i decided to turn to a/c, it's not cold. fans are working and i had belts changed recently...could it be the a/c "gas". help i have a feeling this summer is going to be boiling hot.

 

as much as i love the x-type i have to say that the a/c compressor is really bad in this car
i had to chage mine every year :S

 

Take a look at these

 

Norri, if I'm reading JTB00183NAS1 correctly, it's possible to flip that AC valve without removing the compressor? Just evacuate system, flip valve, reseal, and recharge system?

 

Yes.
As long as you have access.

 

Wish I would have tried this before replacing the compressor on our S Type!

ok, I'm daft here.
From what I m reading, you remove the valve, then the spring comes out. Now they want me to put the valve in first & the spring on the outside??? then the cover?

 

It is not a misprint in the bulletin? You remove the spring from under the valve and put it on top of the valve? Has anyone done this or had it done and it works? Is it a manufacturing error in the first place?

 

Did you ever get an answer?
