When A/C compressor cycled on, you could hear a hiss inside the dash area. Replaced A/C Evaporator, TX valve and O-rings, also replaced heater core while I was in there. The whole dash and metal bracket and wiring had to come out, right to the fire wall to access the leaking A/C evaporator. While removing the 2 coolant lines going to the heater core, through the engine compartment, broke the plastic fittings. No parts available from Napa, Parts Source, or Bumper to Bumper, or Rock Auto but the dealer had the whole heater core line assembly which was $458 CDN. Was stuck and had to fork out the cash to get my car back on the road. This is a extensive job to do, be ready with a second car if you are thinking of doing such a job. This was my only ride. |
