A/C evaporator failure rate in MB CARS thru the 1990's has been very high at somewhere around 8-10%!..IN the summer we replace at least 200-300 of them.

Seems like the Germans are just now figuring out their DESIGN problems!

The only MB that has very low evaporator problems during that time was the ML...that system was designed by DENSO in the USA...not by Behr OR Valeo in Europe!
