From the start of production up to the changeover from MY 2012, evaporators approximately 40 mm wide (block depth) were installed (A/C unit part number "8K_ 820 005"). From MY 2012 as a running change, an evaporator with an approximately 50 mm width (block depth) is being installed depending on the vehicle version (A/C unit part number "8T_ 820 005"). Pay attention to the correct allocation of the expansion valve to the evaporator (there are different versions) .
