Good that you got er' done. Now if you had it to do over you can increase your time and by the 10th one you do, you can actually make money on it- (as a mechanic would say). Then comes another model with a whole new set of changes....

It is alway a thrill, to not get any SES codes and no squeaks, rattles, and everything works ok on the test drive when finished.

And I do these for fun, not for a living.....how bad is that....I enjoy saving family and friends a few hundred dollars, while I make a few hundred...

I see thanks, guess I know the evaporator is leaktight then!

Yeah, knowledge is power right? Now that I know every step and the learning has been absorbed, could probably knock that job out again in two hours. Hopefully won’t be doing it anytime soon LOL.

Thanks!
