No one wants to spend a lot of money to fix an AC system. ALL of our 850/70 series will have evaporator leaks, and it is a pain to repair. The real problem is the fact that the "new" evaporator isn't any more reliable than the old one.
Yes, the dash has to come out and that takes 2 mechanics all day, and they supposedly know what they are doing. It is not for the novice. Besides, once the system is hooked back together, you will need to have the system vacuum pumped out and r134a replaced.
If you belong to VCOA, and your dealer accepts their 10% discount, ask the dealer for a discount?
I am putting off having mine replaced, it is cheaper to add a can of r134a every 4 weeks or so. Besides, winter is almost here in Minnesota, I can wait until next May for my next can!
