Re: Air Con- Evaporators



 # The evap on my V8 has sprung a leak.

 # Replacement cost here in Oz about 15% of value of the car!

 # Air con bloke reckons that all the Audi evaps are made in the US by

 # Also the compressor is on the way out, any ideas of replacement cost over there?

... from my investigation in the fiche some time back it certainly 
appears that the V8q uses the same AC components as the 200 of the 
similar vintage ... and probably even several years earlier.  If 
that is indeed the case it should open up your options for used 
replacements.  If you don't have any further luck send me a direct 
e-mail message and I'll look up the numbers in detail.  

How on earth does one puncture an evaporator?
