7E1816103 Volkswagen EVAPORATOR

Basically, the evaporator is a heat exchanger. It takes the refrigerant – that cold stuff flowing through your AC system – and turns it from a liquid into a gas. As it does that, it absorbs heat from the air blowing across it. That’s what cools the air coming out of your vents. It’s got a bunch of tiny fins to increase the surface area and really maximize that heat transfer. It sits inside the HVAC box, usually right behind the dashboard. The AC compressor sends pressurized, liquid refrigerant to the evaporator. The evaporator gets cold, and a blower motor forces air over it, making the air you feel coming through your vents. It works in partnership with the condenser, compressor, and expansion valve to create the whole cooling cycle. Think of it as a key piece in a continuous loop. Without a functioning evaporator, you won't have cold air. If it’s leaking, you’ll notice if your AC isn’t as cold as it used to be, or if you're constantly having to recharge the system. It acts like a shield against the outside heat, keeping you comfortable. A clogged or corroded evaporator can severely restrict airflow and even cause other components to fail. You can find replacements online, Fixparts Online has a good selection, but make sure you get the right one for your specific vehicle. Replacing it is a pretty involved job, often requiring you to disassemble a good portion of the dashboard. Built to endure: Evaporator (MPN 7E1816103) comes with a 12-month warranty!
