I was wondering how to remove this whole box?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264208613310 I can see the 2 bolts in the front. And then the evaporator lines. Is anything else holding it? |

Cast be simple. The repair manual has you drill a hole through the firewall to clean the evaporator. Though that could be to do while system is still full of freon.

Ahhh good point. I see on one side the 3 tubes for coolant and on the other side A/C connector.
That seems like hell of a job. Maybe I'll just cut the carpet after all! Is this whole assembly kept in place by two screws and A/C and Coolant connectors or is there anything else to remove? I for the life of me can't make out the drawings in those manuals lol! I could replace the evaporator while I'm in there as I plan to keep the car for a long time. I feel like I'm digging myself deeper and deeper after removing the dash |

Before replacing I would try sealant. I worked on a truck that had a leak in a 90° elbow you can't remove without cutting the line so I tried sealant/dye and sure enough the UV showed the dye at that joint but only for a bit before it sealed and the car held the freon ever since.

Well what the heck!
Let's do it! Seems like all Nissens parts are made in China. While I'm changing my carpet, I guess I can replace the a/c evaporator. Fcpeuro does not have Hella, but have Nissens https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...60-64118385561 I figure Hella would be higher quality? I found last one on Amazon https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003NWV5CO/...ing=UTF8&psc=1 |

You can look by taking off a cover by the FSU (resistor).
You can take a similar cover off on the other side. But you cannot see the whole thing like in my second picture, because you would have to remove the bottom cover. I think if you remove the cover and go in there, maybe even with an inspection camera, you will see dye if it's there. That's my guess. |
