Np air con evaporator

[Bru9]

I'm confused by

grabbed a towel and wrapped it around the hose fittings. i put the adjustable nozzle on the flat spray pattern and held it inside the evaperator box and began to spary in small burts.

Does the removed part to be cleaned, have delicate parts inside that water can't touch?

The delicate parts are in the compressor but mate don't get water or moisture in the evaporator or any part of the system. The hoses you have have discontented need to be sealed off so no moisture can enter. The ends of the evaporator also need to be sealed of when spraying water around.

Water/moisture is bad for any refrigeration system.

It seems a bit like cleaning the grill on a radiator? Just plug up the hose openings.

Thanks mate for a great writeup. I have a 2005 NM GLX with pissweak cabin air on max fan, so I will have a go at this soon.

Thanks for the DIY

Pretty easy to get to once you watch your pics. Mine wasn't that filthy was full of leaves and other crap. Over the NY we've done heaps of 4WD tracks on very dusty roads. I could see the dust build up inside the vents, and could taste the dust inside the cabin. So evaporator is nice and clean now and a cabin filter installed. Happy days breathing clean air

Great write up, thanks. Did mine on the weekend. Not as bad as that but still some gunk in it so cleaning it was worthwhile.

Also added the cabin filter mod (link in this thread above). Why I hadn't done that already is beyond me. So easy!

I used my on board air compressor and gun tool to give the condenser a blast. Problem was though, I have it on a pressure switch so when I gave it the initial blast it flattened some of the condenser blades. Followed that with a few squirts of the garden hose on spray and it cleaned up nicely.

My drain plug was blocked too but again, a quick blast with the air compressor dislodged all the silt and the water flowed out freely.

Job done. No more leaky foot well, no more internal dust plume on fan setting 4 and breathing cold clean air!

So Ghendo was kind enough to send me a copy of this thread with the photos. Happy to pass on the favour if anyone needs it

Has anyone tried cleaning the evaporator via the filter slot? Could I just snake a hose down there and give it a blast or do I risk doing some damage?

I'm just going off the photos so not sure exactly what else is in there

If you could send me a copy with the pics in place that would be fantastic.
I've done the cabin filter mod, but would love to clean the rest out and keep it clean now.
Cheers

Hi mate

Welcome to the forum.

So that we can send you a copy of the instructions, you’ll need to send Mitty (or myself) a PM (Private Message) which includes your email address – that way we can email you back the PDF file as an attachment.

Bit of a thread necro but any chance of reposting the pics that have disappeared?

Edit: also am I right in thinking a 2003 NP is not fitted with a cabin air filter?

Hi mate

You would be right in thinking a 2003 NP is not fitted with a cabin air filter.

If you PM me your email address I’ll send you a PDF I have of the threat you want which includes the pictures – I filed it away on my computer before the pics disappeared.

Cheers
