1-3-2-4 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 My brand new TYC condenser just came in from rockauto after having to wait an extra day for it to ship. I don't think this looks right at all? The box was not crushed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 this thread is quite twisted, and so is your condensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yeah that's shipping damage. File a claim with the carrier who delivered it, they should give you a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how long does it take for a refund from FedEx? by the time I got the refund I could buy 100 condensers 10X over? I'm pissed off I had to wait an extra day and I still have no damn AC.

Rooster2 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I guess you could try flattening out the twisted condenser, and hope it doesn't leak. It was prolly damaged in shipping. Ask Rockauto or shipper how to request a damage claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looking at the expansion valve I don't think this one is right.. from searching and looking at pictures I should have another part that screws onto the evaporator pipe right? ugh what a crazy day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC there is supposed to be another copper tube that isn't on that one. I tried and couldn't ever seem to fine the correct one. Perhaps a dealer would have it. I wouldn't even mess with the condenser, file the claim and they should have you refunded in a few days. Fedex isn't like lost baggage dept. at the airport. They actually do do things in a timely manner. I am constantly reminded of why I stopped using Fedex for shipping large items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I saw it listed on subaruparts.com to get an ballpark idea.. if they want $40 they can forget about it! correct part should look like this if it works. http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/WC/394-01052289.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ff&utm_term=1990-1999+Subaru+Legacy+A%2FC+Expansion+Valve+Four+Seasons+90-99+Subaru+A%2FC+Expansion+Valve&utm_content=YN&utm_campaign=PartsGeek+Google+Base wow subaruparts says MSRP is $64.75 Edited June 23, 2010 by 1-3-2-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Part number looks like... 73067AA040 or 73067AA041 1ssubaruparts lists it for $46. Chances are yours is fine though. Mine has been doing great. Did you get a new drier to put in while you're doing all this AC work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do you mean chances mine is find? What the expansion valve? Going to stick a note in the return of the expansion valve to let them know it does not fit a 1995 Legacy Edited June 23, 2010 by 1-3-2-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
