Right you are. I was thinking of the Evaporator. As inefficent as it may be mounting it behind the dash is brilliant as the cool air has less of a distance to travel. Rather than cooling the plumbing behind the dash it cools the passengers the purpose for which it was designed in the first place. Even on the hottest of days my A/C manages to cool the car quickly and keep the interior a nice cool 72 degrees.
It was my understanding that most of the Evaporator issues had been solved in 1997-1998 model year cars. Is this not true?
