A Good Reason to Remove Your Evaporator (Page 3/7)

Where would all the Debrit tend to accumulate First ? The Heater Core, OR, the Evaporator ? Got to be coming In Through the Vents in front of the windshield, right ?

The evaporator, as you're looking at it from the front compartment, on the lower left side in that corner. Here's what mine looked like when I pulled it, keep in mind I clean it every year:

In this photo I posted above, the debris is thicker and denser in the lower left side as RWDPLZ said above.

Lou, I hate those new car smell ones, but the peach and vanilla ones are pretty good. I have even purchased the Pine green ones before.

It would obviously pass through the blower motor first but being a blower, it usually won't sit there. It will get blown down the line until it hits the first stop. With AC cars, that will be the evaporator. I guess the heater core on non-AC cars.

On non-AC cars, is the heater core in the position that would be used for the evaporator in an AC car?

Was at the local Advance Auto tonight...R134 is now 19.99 a can.

Propane anyone ?

Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

Any one tried the heater motor resistor opening only to get the junk out?

It's too small, you can barely get a couple fingers in there.
