Poll:Have you had to replace a/c evaporator?
If so,What was the diagnosis that led to the replacement,and if other components of the a/c were defective and replaced before the evap. was.
Pls indicate # of miles and years on car.I really appreciate any info
that you can provide from personal experience on this matter.Thanks and regards.

I bought my car in 4/05 with 23k on the clock. Not long before I purchased, the evaporator had been replaced according to the records I received. Don't think anything else had been replaced. Car had been in Orlando from new til when I purchased fwiw

Joseph,
Having been on RL for a few years, I have read almost every a/c post on the 993 Forum. I had a chronic problem with my '97 C2's a/c for several years after purchasing it, so I read all the posts. From all that I've read, evaporator replacement is quite rare. Problems with the a/c and poor cooling are not however.
Do you have a particular problem with your a/c? There are some very helpful guys here that know the systems well. Evap replacement rarely comes up as a fix.

Hey, I thought there would be a poll? I was promised a poll!!! 
Yes, mine was replaced by the PO somewhere around 70K miles IIRC. It is a 1995 C2 with 105K on the odomometer. There have not been any other AC component issues.
Hope that helps.

Replaced mine last summer when I purchased the car. It had at the time 66K miles. Did it myself from the DYI from Robin's site (thank you Robin). Used an after market evaporator...working great now.
