My '90 740 turbo (converted to R134a) won't hold freon.

My mechaninc charged it, it ran cold for 15 minutes, only to start blowing hot air. He charged it again; same result.

A dye test showed no visible leaks.

He suggested that the evaporator was probably bad.

Is the a definitive way to tell?

Has anyone here attempted this repair?

How much should it cost to have it done professionally?

Thanks.
