Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

my evaporator is leaking and needs to be changed. My Bentley publishers 996 service manual does not cover this. where can I get this info?

POST 2Original post

Unless you have the specialized tools to do this, I would suggest farming it out to a pro.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

specialized tools such as? besides the car is apart in my garage

POST 4Original post

If you have the box out of the car its just a matter of removing a dozen or so fasteners that hold the box case halves together; there is one fastener that is located in a narrow bore, just grind down a sacrificial socket . The pita is the blend flap doors when you put things back together its an alignment task with the door pivots. Why you are at it look at the foam seals on the blend door edges, replace them new closed cell rubber foam.

Unless someone has independently done one, I don't think you are going to find one outside of the factory service manuals or the PIWIS TSI factory technical subscription service. Good luck.
