Modifications consist of:

connecting the pipe to the txv-valve
receiver drier
txv-valve
connector pipe for the receiver drier.

The new txv-valve and the new receiver drier must not be combined with the old type of pipe due to the risk of leakage.

When replacing the receiver drier on cars manufactured before week 936, the outgoing connector pipe from the old receiver drier must be mounted on the new receiver drier.

The new pipe cannot be connected to the txv-valve/receiver drier on cars manufactured before week 936 unless the new txv-valve/receiver drier has been installed.

When replacing the condenser, the receiver drier is supplied. Transfer the existing outgoing connector pipe from the old receiver drier to the new receiver drier if the old pipes to and from the txv-valve remain.
