Leading on from my Aircon problem. Must be the pipes leading into the evaporator. How can you access these pipes under the dash, is it a dash out job. Garage saying 6.5 hour job plus parts. Car is a 2.6 Estate.

Also gas leaking into cabin.

Could leave it degassed and simply press the Eco switch... 6.5 hours sounds on the light side for dash out imho, that said, get the quote in writing as I suspect it could end up being twice that

[Kieran]

Yes could do but really need it fixed. Really need to know how to get to the evaporator.

I doubt the whole dash has to come out.

Remove the glove box, passenger airbag, blower fan and ducting and a few other cable trays and things and you can certainly get to the end of the evaporator and the expansion valve. Whether there's room for it to come out, I can't say, but it's possible the leak isn't the evaporator itself but one of the connections to it or the expansion valve.
