Title: Evaporator
Post by: Kieran on 24 June 2016, 09:56:21

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.

Regards

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 :-\

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.
