  Q: How to remove and install the A/C Evaporator Core in an air conditioning system on Mazda MPV?

  A:

  One must empty the cooling system by first pumping the air conditioning, and pulling out the negative cable attached to the battery when removing the front evaporator. The second step is to remove the passenger side lower glovebox and trim to reveal the cooling unit case. Find and remove the refrigerant lines at the firewall location, then use a backup wrench to help avoid twisting of the tubing, and seal all the refrigerant lines to seal out moisture. To install the evaporator case, which is located on the passenger side of the firewall, remove the grommets, disconnect the electrical connector on the thermo switch and remove the attaching nuts. Remove the screws that hold the upper and lower halves of the evaporator and remove the evaporator. To install, turn the process of removal in reverse and make sure to fill the cooling system up, then evacuate, recharge, and leak test the air conditioning system with a qualified shop. In the case of the rear evaporator, release air conditioning system, and unhook the negative cable with battery. Take out the trim panel on the left rear side, switch the refrigerant lines off the evaporator and then take out all the electrical connections and hoses to the cooling unit assembly. Dismantle by un-bolstering the evaporator by detaching the rear cooling unit nuts and bolts and then detach the upper and lower half of the case to gain access to the evaporator and remove it. Installation is the opposite of the removal process and the same will be necessary in evacuation, recharging and leak testing of air conditioning system.
