Mechanical valve for A/C compressor Visteon VS16 VS18 Ford Volvo Hyundai
Product Overview
The control solenoid valve is installed in Visteon VS16 / VS18 air conditioning compressors and controls their performance during operation of the air conditioning system. A malfunctioning valve may result in weak or unstable cooling, intermittent loss of cold, no cooling, or delay in normal operation of the air conditioner. The valve is used on select Visteon VS16 and VS18 compressors, which can be installed on Ford, Volvo and Hyundai vehicles. It is necessary to select a part, first of all, according to the type of compressor and the design of the standard valve, since different air conditioning compressors can be used on one car model. When to check the compressor control valve: The air conditioner is not cooling enough; cold air periodically disappears; after turning on the air conditioner, cooling does not appear; the air conditioner starts to work normally with a delay; Diagnostics indicates a malfunction in compressor performance control. Compressor types: Visteon VS16 Visteon VS18 Possible applications: Ford Focus 1.6 Ford C-Max 1.6 Volvo Hyundai Sonata Hyundai Elantra Features: solenoid control valve air conditioning compressor; designed for selected Visteon VS16 / VS18 compressors; allows you to replace a faulty valve separately from the compressor; selection is made based on the type of compressor and the appearance of the standard valve. Advantages: allows you to repair the compressor control system without replacing the compressor assembly; Fits compatible Visteon VS16 and VS18 compressors; can restore normal compressor performance control if valve failure is confirmed by diagnostics. Important! Before ordering, be sure to compare the installed valve with the product photos and check the compressor markings. Control valve compatibility tables may not be complete, and different compressor modifications may be installed on the same vehicle. It is necessary to check the shape of the valve body, its length, the location of the O-rings and the design of the working part. Selection by vehicle make or model alone does not guarantee compatibility. FAQ What compressors is the valve intended for? For selected Visteon VS16 and VS18 A/C compressors with appropriate control valve design. Is it possible to select a valve only according to the car model? No. Before When ordering, you must check the type of compressor and compare the standard valve with the product photos. Is the valve suitable for Ford Focus and C-Max 1.6? The valve can be used on Ford Focus and C-Max 1.6 with Visteon VS16 / VS18 compressors, provided that the design of the standard valve is completely identical. Does the valve apply to Hyundai Sonata and Elantra? This application is indicated for individual compressors, but it is imperative to check the type of compressor installed and the valve shape before ordering. What symptoms can there be if the valve is faulty? Poor, intermittent, or no cooling, or a delay in the air conditioner starting to operate normally. Does replacing the valve guarantee that the air conditioner malfunction will be eliminated? No. Similar symptoms may occur due to other system faults, so diagnosis is necessary before replacement.
