My 1995 940 wagon, in Saint Paul, MN, 103K just started blowing black little gobs of filter like material when I turned on the air conditioning. I didn't notice it till I tried wiping a little gob off my shirt. It smeared. I vacuumed up the rest. It looks and feels like dirty oil. The air conditioning works fine otherwise. I'm guessing the only way for it to get oily in there is a leaky evaporator.
I have the green manual and parts manual and don't see how any dirty oil could get in there otherwise. Or for that matter what would cause the filter to disintigrate like that, if thats what happened. But if there are any other ideas before I start taking it apart and ordering parts I would appreciate thoughts. I've learned to ask before I take things apart finally :) And if I do have to take airbox apart are there things I should do as preventitive maintenance or early repairs? And thanks for those tips on assembling in the FAQ. And all your help in general.
Thanks for the thoughts.
