I have a 21 year old GMC Sierra that suddenly started blowing mildew out of the air vents. Why it took so long for it to develop I don't know but I will definitely be using your method to clean the evaporator coils. Thank you for making this video.
Just a tough, maybe you want to use a pump sprayer with your could cleaner , and then use same to rinse with water , believe me you will reach farther inside and not really use a water hose in there , much electronics , hope you try
Clear vid, yet I am not sure your directions in general apply to just any car. I have a Renault Megane & I think the way to get to the core is to remove the pollen filter after removing the glove box. Thanks anyway!
As a Master mechanic for over 35 years I would never tell a do-it-yourselfer to clean his coil using this procedure, there is a much better product from the market where you just drill a small 3/16 hole just before the coil and turn on the fan and disperse the foam which fills the cabinet completely and gets into all the nooks and crannies throughout and inside the fins and comes out way cleaner than your procedure. DWD2 EVAP CLEANER, best on the market.
I will look into that cleaner. However, it won't help clear obstructions like leaves and pine needles that are very prevalent in these '90s model Chevys with no cabin filter.
@@dudewecanfixit I pulled out my cabin filter, and there was a plethora of junk on the other side, where a mouse had set up house. So you're right, just pumping in foam isn't going to do the job.
@Will D I'm not sure I want that chemical foam to creep into all the nooks and crannies where it might not get properly rinsed out, and no matter which cleaner it is, if it isn't rinsed out it could cause problems with damaged plastics or even a coil leak.
Drop a comment and tell us what you’d like to see next 😁
you would get some subs if you got rid of the music. Never add music to a video, especially a tutorial video. Good luck.
The intro for this one is my favorite!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy you enjoyed it!

I'm glad you found this video! I hope this solves your issue
Beautiful video! I love the music too. Good job
The this stuff have a fragrance or chemical smell?
Just a slight smell
You should be able to get some evaporator cleaner at Home Depot
@@dudewecanfixit does it go away or does it stick around?

That is a good approach

You are correct, this won't work the same for every car
@@dudewecanfixit apart from that, the overall procedure of the cleaning I will apply to my Renault :)
The evap coil and heater core are two different coils. You just cleaned only one of them.
You are correct, whichever one is in front is the one that gets clogged up and is the only one that can be easily accessed.
not supposed to use that coil cleaner on micro channel coils
Why not?
@@dudewecanfixit it's too caustic and will degrade and erode the coils
Micro channel coils should only be cleaned with water
Evaporator cleaner is a degreaser. It is not caustic. You are thinking of condenser cleaner that is caustic.
If you dont have access to a water hose you can use a spray bottle
Yes, you can. It is nice to have a good flow rate however.
@@dudewecanfixit true.. can siphon water from a 5 gallon bucket? Lol w/ a siphon drum pump $15 Ty for this video by the way!
That a good solution!
