Parts for your 2022 Suzuki Splash-Tx valve

2022 Suzuki Splash TX Valve – is it relevant?

Short answer: a TX valve isn’t relevant to a 2022 Suzuki Splash, because there isn’t a 2022 Splash. Suzuki discontinued the Splash globally in the mid‑2010s. That’s supported by Suzuki’s model line‑up documentation and market bulletins from the time, which show production ending well before 2022. So a “2022‑Suzuki‑Splash/tx‑valve” request doesn’t map to an actual model year.

For owners of the earlier Splash (the small hatch built alongside the Opel/Vauxhall Agila B), Suzuki’s factory service information and the Electronic Parts Catalogue for those model years specify an air‑conditioning thermal expansion valve (TXV) mounted at the evaporator. That confirms the Splash platform used a TX valve rather than an orifice tube during its production run. But strictly speaking, attaching TX‑valve fitment to a 2022 Splash isn’t applicable, because that vehicle isn’t part of Suzuki’s 2022 range.

Why isn’t a TX valve “used” on a 2022 Splash? Because the car itself wasn’t produced for that year. If you’re searching by registration year on a parts site, you might see “2022” due to first registration or a database default, but the underlying vehicle is an earlier Splash. In that case, sourcing a TXV by VIN or by the original model year (circa 2008–2014 depending on market) is the right approach.

If you do have an earlier Splash and the air‑con’s playing up — warm air at idle, frosting on the evaporator line, or cycling pressures — a sticky or blocked TX valve is a known culprit. On those vehicles the valve is typically accessed at the evaporator connection. Good practice from Suzuki service literature is to replace the receiver‑drier any time the system’s opened, evacuate with a calibrated vacuum pump, and recharge with the specified R‑134a mass and PAG oil balance. Always leak‑test with nitrogen and a trace of UV dye, not just a quick top‑up.

Bottom line for this listing: there’s no 2022 Splash to fit a TX valve to — but earlier Splash models did use a TXV, and parts matching should be done against the actual build year or VIN.

• TX valve not applicable to a “2022” Splash, as the model was discontinued years earlier.
• Earlier Splash models used a TXV, confirm by VIN and follow Suzuki service procedures for any A/C work.

Popular questions about a 2022 Suzuki Splash TX valve

Does a 2022 Suzuki Splash exist, and does it have a TX valve?

No. Suzuki had wrapped up Splash production well before 2022, so there isn’t a legitimate 2022 model year. That’s why a TX valve can’t be attributed to a “2022 Splash”. If your rego or listing shows 2022, it’s likely an administrative artefact — check the build plate or VIN to identify the true model year.

What metering device did the Suzuki Splash use during its production?

On production Splash models, Suzuki’s workshop material and parts catalogues specify a thermal expansion valve (TXV) at the evaporator. It meters refrigerant flow based on evaporator outlet temperature, which helps keep vent temps stable and prevents evaporator icing when things are working properly.

How can someone tell if their Splash’s TX valve needs attention?

Common clues include poor cooling at idle but better at speed, erratic high/low side pressures, line frosting before the evaporator, or a system that short‑cycles. Proper diagnosis involves manifold gauges, temperature probes, and leak checks. If replacement’s needed, follow best practice: replace the receiver‑drier, evacuate thoroughly, and recharge by weight with the correct R‑134a and PAG oil.
