Evaporator Core: Service and Repair
Evaporator
Removing
- Remove heating and A/C unit:
• Climatic system--> [ Climatic Heating and A/C Unit ] Climatic Heating and A/C Unit
• Climatronic system--> [ Climatronic Heating and A/C Unit ] Climatronic Heating and A/C Unit
- Disassemble heating and A/C unit:
• Climatic system--> [ Climatic Heating and A/C Unit ] Climatic Heating and A/C Unit
• Climatronic system--> [ Climatronic Heating and A/C Unit ] Climatronic Heating and A/C Unit
- Disassemble evaporator housing --> [ Evaporator Housing ] Evaporator Housing
- Remove evaporator - A - from lower section of evaporator housing.
Installing
- Install in reverse order of removal, noting the following:
• Before inserting evaporator, check condensation water drain hose and clean drain if necessary.
• Before inserting evaporator, clean evaporator housing and evaporator if necessary.
- When inserting evaporator - A - into lower section of evaporator housing and when assembling both housing halves, ensure foam seal - F - is not damaged.
- Check seal - F - (it must be glued all around) before inserting evaporator.
- Place bracket - C - and seal / insulation - B - onto connecting pipes of evaporator - D - and - E -.
- Insert evaporator - A - into lower section of evaporator housing as shown in the illustration.
• After assembling both housing halves, check seal / insulation - B - for correct seating at pass-through for both refrigerant lines - D -and - E -.
• Check seating of bracket - C -on both refrigerant lines - D -and - E -for correct seating.
• If heat protection insulation - B -is missing or not installed correctly, it can cause reduced performance of the A/C system (change of adjusted control characteristics of expansion valve due to radiant heat).
