i was wondering the same. i was told mines could be bad it would cost alot to change it. because he said he has to remove the dash to get to it . and that would be alot of work. i was wondering if its true. or was that the expansion valve??

I was quoted $300 labor to change an evaporator on a 1993 SC300. I don't think the dash has to come out or the labor charge would have been much higher.

The dealer told me the whole dash don't have to come out.......but the labor was $100 a hour for a total of eight hour......cost $800.00

I have done heater cores before so I know I can do the job......just trying to find out what all I have to remove from someone that has done a 1993 SC300....

I'm no expert, but I'll pass along what I was told:

The evaporator and the expansion valve are both near each other, and require some dash dissasembly. If you're having the evaporator replaced, they may want to do the expansion valve at the same time. It's not a big $$ part.

I changed my evaporator this pass weekend on my SC300 so if anyone out there need to know just what needs to be removed to install the new evaporator just email me and I will be happy to help you out. The whole job took me four hours to do........the dealer said it was a eight hour job at the cost of $800.00.......now I have $800.00 in my pocket and the air in my SC300 is ice cold.
