the o-rings. This is mandatory if you switch to 134a, as the older
ones usually go pretty fast.
Another steath leak is the o-rings that seal the piping manifold to
the compressor -- the high side ones erode and start to
I am so happy I have Gump! She looks real close to that from the
factory, just add dash. I am sure the 126 will look the same when I
get done

I will proceed to hunt that down. The forklift fellow at the PnP is
out after shoulder surgery and the idiots there are no longer putting
fresh meat out. The pen is getting pretty close to being double

damn I wish they would get more

Wow, and I thought doing a Volvo 240 heater blower was a pain...
There is a 280SE euro in the PnP lot. Stripped inside, but much of the
engine compartment is still intact. Where do I look for this
evaporator? I pulled the Climate unit, which looks good. Wish the
stripper had not screwed with the headlight aimers. Left the vac hose

How involved and expensive is that repair?

About like a radiator replacement, except that you need AC servicing
tools like a vacuum pump and gauges.

Let me play devil's advocate and postulate that it's really the evaporator
that needs replaced. Is that much harder to get at?
