I've snapped 2 of these in half. It's the clamp that holds the evaporator core tubes to the expansion vlave. PN 1H0816831 (but has 838033B embossed on it). $53 not cheap!
The bently clearly says 71 inlbs on the 2 smaller bolts (item 13 in the diagram), and the same 71 inlbs on the big bolt on the engine side (item 24 in the diagram), which seems strange. Is that right?
I have an accurate torque wrench but apparently somehow this smashed the flange on the small tube and now it appears that I need to replace the evaporator core. I'm afraid I'm going to smash the new ones too. This didn't seem that hard to put together. What am I doing wrong?
