Hi all,

I'm preparing for my w124's massive A/C rebuild project. A rock pierced a hole in my condenser and I seized the cheap eBay rebuilt compressor a year or so ago, so I gave up, took the compressor off, and left the system open. Now I'm going back in to redo it right with a new compressor, condenser, and main manifold hose. Being that I'm spending some $$ already, I'm tempted to just flush the evaporator instead of spending yet another $300 and turning this into a week long marathon. I know it wasn't leaking a year ago. It's not smart to leave it open, but it is in Colorado, so it's in a pretty dry climate. Should I go ahead and just replace it? Can I pressure test just the evaporator? Does it make sense to flush it, replace everything else and see if it holds a vacuum? I'd love to know if anyone has a good suggestion on how I should tackle this. I really don't want to do an evaporator...

Thanks!

Scott
