HELP!! Evaporator Replacement
Hi,
I need some help as to how to remove the evaporator. I performed a dye test and it is definitely the evaporator.. I am looking for a guide as to how to replace. Or some tips... I cannot find anything on this.. I have a 2002 x5 3.0. Thanks!

Unfortunately it is a big job that involves fully removing the dash... your best bet would be to source a TIS cd to have access to all the repair instructions.

Let us know how this works for you! I have the same year/model and just recharged the freon two weeks ago with some dye stuff in it. I didn't see any leakage in the engine compartment when I finished. It was over 90 today and it still seems weak. I had the condensor (under the dash) replaced for $3800 a couple of years ago and I'm hoping that's not it.

Is it true you have to remove the steel cage to get that out?

Yeah mine tends to freeze then I will turn off the AC and let it thaw out and I can continue my trip with AC. Not a deal breaker

With the microfilter housing removed there are 4 13mm bolts that hold the evaporator housing to the firewall. Remove those and you can pull the whole case out and change the evaporator out on the workbench.
