I need to replace the evaporater for the air conditioning system on the above car, which I understad is located behind the dash panel, as I have been quoted £2000 for this to be replaced, I concidered I would attempt replace it myself if possible ?
I am also advised the drier should be replaced at the same time can anyone advise if this is really necessary
i also dont doubt your abilities, BUT when working for mercedes in harrogate, a mechanic had to replace a dashboard complete on a 1989 420sl due to a slip with a stanley knife. from memory, it was a 40 hr labour charge! you have NEVER seen so many wires in your life. Just remember all those electronics lurking about the car. You might be able to get some expert advice from http://mbclub.co.uk. All I can say is best of luck mate

Cant help with that one,but do remember vividly removing a dash on a 89 190 as one of the worst jobs ever.dont mean to doubt your ability.You would have to be very capable.Its a BIG job.Even the old 308 van's,would be allocated 6 hours to change the heater matrix.good luck hope, it works out for you.
