Ok so I figured it's my turn to beat to death this topic. Anyhow...just wanted to say...if you are considering cleaning your a/c evaporator and haven't done it yet...do it! All 3 of my vehicles (w124 chassis, w126 chassis, and a ford ranger) had DISGUSTING build-up. The W124 was easy once the blower was out. The W126 was a little more tricky b/c I had to pull the blower out and use mirrors...then I don't even want to talk about what the evaporator looked like in my ranger...had to be a 1/2 inch of grime all over the entire thing. All 3 vehicles have a notable improvement in air flow now.

I like inexpensive and effective fixes!
