OK I have heard that 97+ XJ have bad evaps, anyone heard this? Anyway both my brother (97 XJ) and I (00) have no AC. After countless refills with UV dye and searches in dark conditions, and no oil residue anywhere under the hood we are faced with the proposition of replacing the evaporators. I am holding out faith on the process of elimination even if I dont like the answer.
Well today I began to work on mine. Good God did DC make this a nightmare!! I have the whole dash out and stoped to add some AC tools to my tool box. When I get the fitting tools and 134 adaptors for my gauges I continue.
Does anyone recomend a good quality replacement evaporator so I dont have to do this three times (brother will want me to help him next)? I run a small shop on my off duty day, but I do not plan on doing this type of thing again for awhile. What would a dealer charge for this $1000?
