I have a leaking Evaporator and that needs replacing. Eurospares and Scuderia off the complete unit at crazy price. They do not offer the Evaporator separately. Do you goo people know of a way around this?
Much appreciated.

Can it not be fixed by a radiator shop or are they made of some exotic metal or composite these days?

I think that is a possibility but just wondering if you can just get Evaporator core separately or a suitable one from another make or model car. As it is a pretty labour intensive job I would feel better knowing a new ccore was in rather than repaired.

I am thinking the way forward is to dismantle and get the measurements of the evaporator and document this for others to get information on. Its just a PITA that the HVAC system comes as a complete Blower, Heater, AC and regulator. In the Ghibli and Quattroporte you can buy these heater/AC cores separately. I'll post the journey once it is done.

You would want a new evaporator...It's gonna be a ton of work..About one of the worst jobs to do on a vehicle..I have to do them on Range Rovers and customers are shocked when they see the amount of parts...Jason

Thanks Jason, its a real PITA but driving around in swimming trunks and three towels is a real issue and nobody is gonna want to do that! And before anyone askes, never tried "naked from the waist down" I believe that's a Ferrari thing....I'll get my hat on the way out gents.
