So I got some bad news from the dealership today regarding my AC woes.....I need a new evaporator!
The damage.....$2500!!!! (more than i bought the car for) I said "hmm...no thanks." Obviously. So, I'm going to try this myself. Anyone have any experience changing this out? The mechanic was saying the whole dash would need to be removed. My repair manual says just the glove box needs to be removed, which wouldn't be so bad. I'm going to tear into it tomorrow morning and take a look around. I'm hoping i don't have to remove the whole dash! Also, this part seems hard to find. I've looked online, and only autozone has a listing for it (170.99). And it needs to be special ordered. What do you guys think? Can I replace the evaporator myself? I'll tear into it tomorrow morning and find out i guess.... -------------------- 1995 Celica ST

I guess it could be possible that they would overshoot the price so that I would feel good when the final total turns out less than quoted. But it does seem like bs.
If i can get to the evaporator, i'll do all the work myself and just take it somewhere to have it charged. I'll try to take pics along the way. This post has been edited by chaynes: Jun 28, 2008 - 8:36 AM -------------------- 1995 Celica ST
