Subject: Re: [MBZ] w124 Evaporator
I had a couple of good days - took everything apart in about 5 hours
and dropped both Evaps off for testing. Newest one was still
pressurized from vendor so no worries there - the previous new one
has a bad leak so I'll be getting my money back on that one. So,
Thursday took all apart, Friday put all back together in a long day
(for me) of approx 7 hours. So while I didn't enjoy doing this job
a second time gaing experience allowed me to do it the 2nd time much
quicker - and no parts left over ;-) although I still need to stick
the glove box insert in - which was delayed because the door is not
closing as smoothly as it should. It appears to be hanging on one
of the plastic arms that keep the door from over opening is dragging
as it enters the dash. Don't know why this has happened - it looks
like it did when before I took things apart. The only difference is
that darned arm! But that can wait til later - this morning I hope
to have it evacuated and charged with 134a.............
I still need to hook up the stereo and slide it in place. When I
put it together last time the antenna did not operate when the radio
was turned on/off - I looked at the wiring and it appears all wires
were connected properly. But I did something wrong ;-) but I'll
figure it out ...
Thanks to all who helped -- it's sincerely appreciated...

Thanks guys -- I think you are correct - 20+ years on the o-rings
mean they are probably on borrowed time IMO. and I DON'T want to
take that stuff apart again! :-)
Off to the garage....

While I wait for the Evaporators to be tested (this morning I
hope), I was wondering something. So far I have not replaced the
o-rings on the 3 tubes that connect to the heater core. My
thinking was the o-Rings are not leaking so why disturb them?
Now, I am thinking that since they are over 23 years old. I'm
leaning toward removing the tubing, cleaning the connections and
replacing the o-rings to be on the safe side and insure I don't
have to open the dash again (ever).
What do ya'll think? Change or not change the heater core o-rings?
Thanks -
Larry
