How much to replace an evaporator???
I had to get my air conditioning recharged and the guy said I may have a leak in the evaporator and would probably have to have it replaced. Does anyone know what the expense of this will be???

How much did they charge you to recharge the system?
I'm curious because I've heard it's up to about $300 around here these days for an evac and recharge....

I bought 3 cans of R134a at discount auto for $9.48 each + Tax. It took two full cans and the guy did not charge Me anything to put it in the system. (He is mt brother) He has a sniffer tool to check for leaks and It buzzed a little inside the car at the vent outlet. He is a retired mechinic but His health won't allow him to tackel a job such as replacing the evaporator. It also detected a small leak at the evacuation fitting. He did not have a tool to tighten it so I'm waiting for my neighbor to return home from work to see if he has one. If not, I will just have to spend my day at the dealers to get it tightened. ( Probably cheaper for me to buy the tool)
I hope I don't need a new evaporator. I'll get the under hood leak repaired and hope the sniffer just was picking up the gas from under the hood.
