Be sure to backup with a wrench both sides of the joint as no to twist the light metal.

On model year 1992 and later (780 1991-) the orifice is sited in the High-Pressure pipe at the pipe joint on the side member, Arrow A
Note: In some cases the work will be made easier if the pipe for the evaporator inlet is removed at the firewall (the right side pipe as shown at Arrow B).The O ring must then be replaced PN 3537503-9.
