EA81 - AC Retrofit - Evaporator - Dirty


Recommended Posts

In my on-going effort to service my Brat, I have moved on to my A/C system. I just finished getting the engine running with an old A/C compressor having switched it to R134a.

 

I just bought a new compressor which fits the original accessory mounting hardware so I wanted to "start from scratch" using R134a when installing it. I know I need a new dryer but I figured I'd check on the Evaporator because all I did so far was flush it out with A/C solvent. I also wanted to find out where the illusive expansion valve is because I've heard lots of mention of it but found no reference in the FSM A/C component part breakdown diagrams.

 

So here's a shot of the evap - I figure its about time for a new one....(or at least a jolly good cleaning)...

 

(The expansion valve is hidden away inside the case - piccy follows this one).

For those interested, more pictures of the dismantling process to get to the evap can be found here:
