A/C help...

Can someone tell me where the orifice tube for the A/C is located? It's an 03 Cooper S. Also, if you happen to know the part # that would be great! Thanks fellas...and ladies.

If you mean the fill valve, it's near the driver's side headlight. Has a black cap on it.

Eric...thanks for your reply but no, I know what and where that is. The orifice tube is usually located in one of the lines and is kind of a filter type doodad. I just need to know where exactly it is so I don't go tearing apart anything that I don't need to.

Minis use an expansion valve and it's attached to the evaporator behind the dash.
