Re: [MBZ] Photos of W124 evaporator cleaning
James, I used Nu-Calgon Evap Foam, from the local HVAC wholesaler for about $7 per can. One can will clean two evaporators, foaming them down maybe a half-dozen times each. A little goes a long way with this stuff. I used a garden sprayer with water to rinse it out, although they claim it's not required (the condensate will rinse it, I guess, during A/C operation.) Here's a flyer for the cleaner: http://ftp.nucalgon.com/ftp/prodlit/3-917.pdf :) -dm > -- > Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:41:08 -0500 > From: "James Zavesky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Photos of W124 evaporator cleaning > > > what cleaner did you use? > > James Zavesky

[MBZ] Photos of W124 evaporator cleaning
Hi all, I cleaned the evaporator on my 300E recently, after doing the same job on my 300D a month earlier. I had previously cleaned this evaporator with a brush and vacuum, as one half was so filthy I don't know if any air was actually flowing through! I figured that since I had to pull the wiper out to replace the windshield, I might as well pull the blower too and use the foam cleaner. Here are some photos of before, during, and after. The camera doesn't show the difference very well, but it was visibly cleaner when I was done: http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean1.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean2.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean3.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean4.jpg http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_stuff/evap_clean5.jpg =) Best regards, -- Dave M.
