New Evaporator. new blower motor, new resistor pack AND a new heater core,
Total installed price, approx $1100! http://********************/smile/emthup.gif
One of my 2000's has been needing a recharge twice a year so when I first turned on the AC last week for the first time in 6 months... nothing.
I figured no time like the present, so along with a new Evap I installed a new blower motor, resistor pack and heater core.
All the other parts were working fine but since there's no extra labor involved and since everything was out and apart, the age old adage applied, measure twice cut once so I replaced everything that would fail eventually... now.
(The heated core was starting to slightly corrode, probably only good for one to two more years anyway).
This was our Black 2000 V70R, lowest mileage and the keeper of the two I own.
