When evaporators go bad...

Well, it looks like there is a leak in the a/c evaporator. The total repair cost will exceed $2,000.00 since the labor is 15 hours (they have to remove the entire dash). My saving grace is that I bought a Warranty Direct extended warranty 2 years ago. They are going to pay the ENTIRE bill. If anyone had doubts about EW companies, WD is a good one . I will post the final repair charges when I get the car back on Monday. Oh, and Chapman BMW of Scottsdale also gave me a nice 525i loaner .

Just had to take her in for the 5th a/c repair. There was warm air blowing from the right side vents. Turns out that the a/c evaporator went bad again! Since the part was just replaced less than a year ago, they replaced it again under the BMW warranty. They also replaced what they are calling the expansion valve, which must be near the evaporator. Warranty Direct covered this as well. She's back to blowing cold air again. This is good since the temps here have been averaging about 112 .

SG,
Maybe living at the doorway to Hell puts a lil' more pressure on your
ol'A/C?!
You are a testimonial for Warr.Direct; thus far, I've only been able to
grab about 2 Bens from the coverage, which expires in 8 thou miles,
or another year. I'm debating as the extension deals they are offering
are really one sided...theirs.

Good to read you are cool again, though. Where the hell you been,
lately? ;>)
