88 80 Q Evaporator $?

[Dupree, Jim]

Cory, you asked about an evaporator, is that what you want?
Big difference between an evaporator and a condenser. Condenser sits in
front of the radiator and the evaporator is inside the heater/AC housing
inside the car. Evaporators do not fail nearly as often as condensers.

Thanks
Jim

Well, even BLAU beats that price. They show:

A/C CONDENSER WITHOUT MANIFOLD   80/90
 5CYL  (INCL. 20V) 88-92
$299

A/C CONDENSER WITH MANIFOLD 80/90 5 CYL
(INCL. 20V) 88-92
$445

Check them out at http://www.audiquattroparts.com/ac_blowout.htm

Also, give The Parts Connection a call at 1-800-472-1144 and tell them
you're on the Quattro list (we get a nice discount and they are great to
work with).

Sorry to bother you about this -- I just did a google search for Audi
Connection & could not find the site

sniffers & dye indicate I need a new evaporator (coil) -- they quote $860
for the part -- can I do better than that?

No refurbished please -- for $400+/labor

with some other doodads they say it needs when you do this -- total ~$1800!!
(BTW I'm DVM not MD)

if I did not live in TX & had not already invested more than the Insurance
or BB value of the car in the AC system over last 3 yrs I would not consider
this

The car has only 82 K & I've always had & maintained it

Thanks very much
