Behind the glovebox is the condenser? unit. I just capped mine for the time being, to save removing the dash until I have to.

It's the evaporator, it's like a little radiator.
I just stuck some gaffer tape over the open ends when I first removed my air-con, but now the evaporator is sitting on a shelf in my workshop.

It looks like it would make an excellent oil or trans. cooler.

It's between the heater blower motor housing and the heater matrix.

Leaves a big space in the dash when removed!

Knew I'd got the wrong name.

[MattF]

So did you remove the evaporator from the housing and then put all the casing back in place Vince?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yep.

[MattF]

Is that the only fan unit then? Thought there was one in the centre dash bit as well?

I didn't know if you'd logged off for the night which was why I shifted the question over to general. I feel like a right muppet now.

Dont worry! i feel like that all the time,
When i undone one of the unions on the AC rad i was expecting summat to come out, gas or liquid and it still made me jump when it did a loud hiss

now there's a reason to take it out, rather than cap

ive just used the condenser for ATF cooling, only right really to use the evap for engine cooling?
