alpha6164 Report post Posted May 23, 2016 Hey guys the AC on the 6.0 is blowing warm and took it to my guy and he says his freon detector is picking up a leakage at the evaporator behind the dash and he recommends the dryer and expansion valve to be changed at same time. Does this sound right ? Do you know if any of these parts are cross referenced with any other cars ? I figured so many parts were used from other vehicles that someone may know. Thanks for all inputs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all inputs. Irrelevant to Lambos, anytime you open a refrigerant system (on any car, or house, or refrigerator, etc) you should change the dryer and expansion valve. They are normally trivial costs ($50?) in the scope of the work, but who knows with the lambo tax. Regardless, just view it as a non-option, like changing the filter when you change the oil. Sorry I can't help on the parts reference side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emanon Report post Posted May 24, 2016 Holy shit. Just heard from Glen at AMH. Evaporator is $3k wtf Evap is $3k, or the part with install is $3k? Is it a solid copper part? (most vehicles in that time frame would have it be solid copper). If so, you could have it rebrazed. Does it require pulling the dash like most cars?

And yes it's behind the dash. Sorry what is re-brazing ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry what is re-brazing ? Lamborghini has decided to not sell the evaporator core by itself, you are getting the entire assy. that is why the cost. Most of them I have seen are made of aluminum, not copper, but you never know. GeorgeV12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially re-soldering the joints (most likely where it is leaking). But if it's built into an air handler assembly that will be a massive pain in the ass. If it turns out to be Aluminum don't fcuk with it, just replace the whole thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
