Best of luck Drew.....hopefully they get Elton and B George out of your stereo as well while they are sorting your air.
Those CD's are in high demand - I ensured that they were removed from the car (along with the Backstreet Boys and Hanson CD's) prior to drop off.

I am hoping, as a silver lining, that they may locate the Micro SD card from the dash cam which was swallowed by the instrument cluster a while back.

Will report back this afternoon.

Well, that went rather smoothly.

Gave it a good looking over - no damage whatsoever that I can see and all lighting etc. reconnected properly.

No new rattles detected on my short drive home.

Oh, and the air conditioning is now working perfectly.

:clap2:

Part number of the new evaporator assembly is: GR3Z 19850 AF.

Thank Drewbo for the updates and Evap part NO. Good luck, I hope that sorts the problem for good as we all know that our warranties are rapidly running out for those that paid the RRP and got a crap 3 year warranty unlike today when you just pop in pay a lot less and get 5 years.

Does anyone have any idea if this AC problem (Evap) affects MY2017 vehicles to the extent it seems to affect MY2016 Mustangs.

Mine is a MY17 and it goes in next Tuesday to be replaced.

So is that a new part as opposed to the original faulty part? Sorry I don't know what the original part number was.

I'm assuming it's a revised part - I have no idea what the original part number was.

And mine goes in Tuesday next week, but the dealership assures me they have had plenty of practice.:amen:
Best of luck tomorrow, @trumpeteer_au !

Since my evap replacement, I have noticed a 'fluttering' sound when backing off after accelerating between gear changes. It seems to disappear after warm up.

Perhaps it's always been there and the sound insulation wasn't put back properly when the dash went back in. Definitely not heard it before, though.

Well got the car back and all seems well. It's working and no rattles. Same part number as you [MENTION=7882]Drewbo[/MENTION]

Can't find any marks from the dash having been out either so they have done well. :clap2:

Turn up Hansen, it's been known to make things give up and go away ;)

Is it consistent and repeatable? Where does it seem to be coming from?
