Hey VDubbers,
My 2014 Cross Polo 1.2 TSI 6C was in at VW for an EPC fault and Intermediate service recently and I asked them to also check the A/C for me as there seems to be a leak close to the firewall and within a day of re-gassing the A/C, it blows warm again.
VW called back with a R22k quote to replace the Evaporator and said that apparently this can only be done by removing the entire dashboard of the vehicle. I checked with Motorite and they only cover up to R6k for the A/C, which left a huge deficit in the quote, which I simply can't afford.
Has anyone here replaced an Evaporator on their similar model car or had the same issue, and can maybe tell me what they did as a better alternative to replacing or fixing that?
Thanks in advance!

Well if it's a leak on the evaporator then it has to be replaced - on most cars the dash has to be removed.
Maybe get a second opinion from an AC specialist shop, they are much cheaper than vw anyways.

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on
