Hi, is it possible to pull the bottom cover off the evaporater to clean it without pulling the whole thing out? My air isnt getting cold and air con said evaporater probably needs cleaing
the AC works great in them. the problem is no filters on them so the fins get clogged up. plus the usual gas leakage means it doesn't get cold like it used to.
Took the fan out and and blew out the evaporater with compressor. Mouse nest , plastic paper etc came out. Air con is a little better but need to get in and clean it better some how
Thanks but I am not talking about the condensor , it is clean. I am referring to the evaporater under the dash. Air con guy said it would be dirty and he was right, just cant get in there to clean it
Normally to get at the evaporator is a dash out job. I don't think there's going to be any way around that as I'm pretty sure they fit the evaporator/heat exchanger setup before fitting the dash in the factory. It would be interesting to see if there is any way is d22 owners can get a cabin filter in there somehow. It is a pain not having one, especially when the patrol and d40 both have them :/
Yer thats a a pain alright they are fairly tricky to remove, and you will have to get the AC system serviced and re-gassed when you put the condensor back in
Maybe you could get one of those vaccum cleaner attachment kits and try to get some of the dust without removing it from the dash entirely
I have a d40 which has cabin filters, i clean them constantly and change them twice a year because i live in dusty bushland and the car lives under a tree
