As a matter of proffesional courtesy I rather not reveal my source, but believe me, IT IS TRUE !
Actually, to get things even worse, evaps that were early changed on early 90's models are already starting to fail for the SECOND time around because of the same design fault.
Ignore the problem??? No, they haven't ignore it, they are fully aware of the whole situation. They just made numbers and found out that it is more exponsive for them to recognize the problem, design a new evap, and give the previous owners legal proof to demand a new evap free of charge. Anyway, they are making more money than they want with the labour costs of replacing the evaps on existing W140s.
