[W126 Coupe] TX valve removal

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Dan,

Should be right up near the transmission hump and firewall.  Feeds into 
the evaporator which is parallel with the heater core inside the black 
plastic air distribution box dead center behind your ashtray and climate 
control pushbutton unit..  It will have a foam jacket sitting over it 
which you will remove to access the valve.  Valve is perhaps 1X2 inch 
square.  So, to clarify it should be accessible up inside the footwell.
