Evaporator of choice? Need replacement help 850 1995

    I can't really help you with what other brand to go with, but I do want to tell you that there are 2 new factory Volvo A/C evaporators for sale on Ebay ($179). Just saw them tonight. Might be cheaper than through dealer if you end up going with Volvo part.

        Anders: I went with an aftermarket evaporator made of copper as opposed to the factory aluminium. It was a lot cheaper (half the price) and works great. My mechanic got it through, I believe, Worldpac. No more worries. Be sure they replace the receiver dryer also. Good I would also replace the O-rings on the heater core and the instrument cluster bulbs on at the same time while the dash is out. Good luck!
