Hello All,

The diesel gods decided that I have had enough rest. The 87 300SDL has 200K+ miles and I picked it up to add to the fleet this past October. It has some rear suspension issues and some full power performance issues, but those will have to wait.

Yesterday on the way home from work I started to hear some hissing, smelled that unmistakable odor of coolant and the windows started to fog up . After turning the climate control temp dial to max cool to get the flow of coolant to shut off and stop the fogging, I was able to complete the COLD ride home.

I believe I have to take the entire dash apart to get the heater core out (right?) and I will also replace the heater core pipes and the vac pods. My question is - what is the history of the AC evaporator in these cars? Should I replace it too (it is around $200)?

Thanks

Richard
