The beer at the halfway mark is awesome.

Amazing video and very clean job. Congrats!!!

You are my newest super-hero. Congrats for the amazing job.

Mine is leaking. I can't believe the job. I thought my 1985 &35i A/C was the worst design in the world. Nope. I'll keep adding 134a. Great video. Reallly!

Thanks man for this video! Very useful!

I can watch this forever :)

You can argue about the music, but a big thanks for the video

Not looking forward to this job next week. Thanks for vodeo

That was an amazing video, I used your video as guide to replace my evaporator, reference for all friends, I was able to complete this job in about 16 hours, also about Denso or Valeo well my compressor is Denso, but for some reason my evaporator was Valeo, i know weird. again thank you so much for the video, also excellent music.

OMG....Great work though. lots of saving on the pocket !!

I guess this is the final boss for me on the e90 after attacking the valve cover gasket, gg I'll continue adding the 134 for now.

nice job

very good video now i know why bmw dont hold value well

Bravo!

Fantastic!

holy shit. congrates

Amazing video. You Have inspired me to do this job myself. I was getting the telltale smells through my vents and when I went into BMW for an airbag recall they confirmed that my evaporator was leaking. I have ordered the part and have my trim removal tools ready! My question is; are there any other parts that I should order (like o-rings on evap to engine bay connections, grommets, etc.)? It would be great to know this ahead of time. Thanks!

This is being done on my e90 as we speak.. Thank goodness for CPO warranty.

Thanks for posting this. Very nice work. I hope my 330's evap never blows. What is the music on the soundtrack, btw? It's very cool.

How did you disconnect AC pipes coming from engine bay area? Is there anything to be done in the engine bay area to HVAC to be able to pull it out?

Holy shitballs... that is INSANE.

Where's a seat cover and flower mat? However you are awesome mate!

hey, nice video. would you be able to tell where could I find evaporator drain pipe for a cleaning purpose. Want to spray some disinfectant spray (by wurth). would be gratefull for information as I have mine e90 2011 and never had maintained it.

Hi, Do you need to drain the coolant before the job?

Really nice video... but too much work to do... i have bmw 328i coupe 2013 and i am facing really big issues regarding A/C. Changed compressor 3 times , condenser once and plenty of more stuff but still the same issue. A/C will work OK not great first few days and then in hot summers specially it will start and stops (mix of Cold and normal air ) and specially when the car stops it will blow normal air... i am really pissed off with my BMW its a pain :( but from your video i guess it could be evaporator... i wish i could do this job by myself but i dont have space and doing it in the garage without AC will be suicide with 48 degrees... :(

TK I see vapor coming from my vents even when the AC is off. Is this a Sign the evaporator went bad? Thanks for the ilustrative video!

Do you need to flush antifreeze for this?

This guy must love his A/C or love this car. Only thing i would have done differently is put protective covers over those soft leather seats. I got nervous watching that dash on top of those beautiful seats.

yo man you probably work on assembly line because an ordinary diy like myself will going to have a hard time to do the job but anyway thanks for the demo

You're a monster!! Any left over screws?? lol Did you follow a guide to get it done? Bentley? I'm debating whether I want to attempt this fix myself.

Great video It will help me if there is a list of the steps in the order that they should be done. For instance what do you disconnect in the trunk at the beginning of the videoThanks!

hello . ai je la même manipulation a faire ??car moi , j ai du chaud constamment et même clim allumé. merci d avance.

Just had my 2007 335i done at the dealer, cost was 2700 dollars

where is evaporator drain?

After all that I would have sprung for a brand new evap. Alternatively, drive it up to Alaska/Canada and try to sell it there where they don't need an A/C. I haven't determined why mine is only blowing cool but not cold yet, but it IS a '97 528i, so I suppose I got my money's worth out of it after 21 years living in the Deep South using it almost everyday. Back in the 70s I added an A/C to my Camaro as an under dash unit. That might almost be worth it for an older BMW.

Great job! wow Well my 2009 335i needs the EV core as well.....Do you know what a BMW dealer would charge for this ? so what tools did you need?

Am I correct in saying you need to drain the coolant to do this? Thanks

Amazing job! The best scene is when you opened up the Corona and took a sip :) I am having the same issue with my E90 316i, the spare parts are not a problem since I can find them on eBay as well but the amount of work needed, Holly Molly! Did you also replace the expansion valve? I saw when you took it off but When your evap failed... Did it smell different inside your car cabin? Like a short circuited or burned electronic smell? Thanks!

any chance you share the TIS, great job!!! Am getting water in the footwell as

Hi. Just making this job myself on my E92 M3. A question please. I am stuck at removing the dashboard metal support. I took out all the screws the TIS manual told me to, but it is not moving! Can it be soldered metal to metal?

after that, do you start hating it or love it even more?

Step 1, disassemble the entire vehicle. Step 2, replace the evaporator.

Im suspecting evap core on mine, anything I can remove to verify this before launching into this major surgery?

German engineers need to stop playing tetris in their spare time.

Nice work! Was there any part of the job that didn't make sense according to the manual, something that didn't want to come out or was really difficult to access? If it's just labor, not cursing and pissed off labor, it's much more fun lol

mad skils

Did you rip your gloves at all during the repair?

Tell me. I am no mecanic at all. Do you think I could do this?

Book time is 13 hours on this job but doesn't include recover and recharge but let me get one thing straight. You did all that work just to cheap out on a 45 dollar evaporator core? lol I'd be looking to put a valeo or behr unit back in. I'm not rolling the dice on some questionable china made core with their record Q.C. tests.

What were the symptoms? Did it smell before replacement? I have a "bandaid" type of smell. Thanks

Just did mine, A/C compressor not running , and will not charge, getting INPA fault code 9C62..... sign continuing to trouble shot! Not the result you want after all this work!

Failed twice in mine!!!

Wrote you on FB Messenger.. Thanks!

In your opinion, if you were to pull out the steering column while leaving the dash in place could you get to the heater core? Because the heater core slides in sideways and the steering column blocks it. Is something preventing you from going that route?

BMW should be sued for this design, when this part fails it let's harmful cancerous refrigerant inside the cabin for you and your children to breathe in

How long did it took to finish the job?

I had to see why this is soo expensive. Now I see.

The dealership quoted me $4400

Get your self Audi or vw and live your life !!!!

OMG

I wish he would’ve just sped up the recording instead of doing this choppy kind of thing. It skips the little pieces you want to see. One second he’ll be working on something and one little skip later he has it out but you don’t see how. 😏

not sure why you calling this the evaporator, this is the ac radiator

А не из России ли ты часом?

Like, share & subcribe. Can You tell me what is the name of the song? Tnx

The moral to the story is Buy a Lexus or Toyota. I have 200 K on my Tundra no problems, Just minor maintenance.

I HATE BMW... MY AIR CONDITIONING JUST WENT OUT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S THE EVAPORATOR AND THAT IT'S THE 14-HOUR JOB... MY NEW AIR CONDITIONING IS CALLED OPEN THE WINDOWS... AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF CRAP BMW

Fuck all that just charge it with freon and trade it in.... My 2009 bmw 328i has 52k miles and leaking evap core about to charge it and trade it in that's way to much work 🤣😂

Do you actually listen to music like this? It's positively schizophrenic.

Why does EVERY BMW video have crappy techno style music?
