When evaporators go bad...

[SuperGreg]

My 2002 3.0 went into the dealer on Tuesday for what appeared to be a bad final stage resistor. It was blowing cold air out of the left vents, and warm air out of the right ones. Well, it looks like there is a leak in the a/c evaporator. The total repair cost will exceed $2,000.00 since the labor is 15 hours (they have to remove the entire dash). My saving grace is that I bought a Warranty Direct extended warranty 2 years ago. They are going to pay the ENTIRE bill. If anyone had doubts about EW companies, WD is a good one . I will post the final repair charges when I get the car back on Monday. Oh, and Chapman BMW of Scottsdale also gave me a nice 525i loaner .
