Well, i went to a local shop after a/c started blowing warm and they put leak detection dye in it and recharged the system. I drove for over 6 weeks until it went out again. I looked for the leak myself (with UV light) and could find nothing. I took it back to the shop and they recharged it and put more dye in it but saw some green at the drain line of the front evaporator core. After having it charged I looked at the water on the garage floor, that night, and it lit up green with the UV light on it. The shop wants $900 (out the door) to replace the evaporator with a Denso evaporator core. He will replace the o-rings on the expansion valve and that's it. Meaning, he doesn't recomond anything else to be replaced.
I was thinking of replacing it myself and save a few bucks. I was wondering if someone had the Toyota TIS on how to take the entire dash out to get to the evaporator core? If i could get that then I would have a shop pull the system dry and then when i get done, have them fill it back up. Any comments or thought would be appreciated.
