What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a leaking evaporator core in the front HVAC case
  • Restoring weak or uneven cabin cooling
  • Addressing refrigerant loss caused by internal corrosion or damage
  • Correcting restricted airflow through a contaminated evaporator core
  • Repairing A/C performance issues on Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front position before ordering. Confirm inlet and outlet fitting style, core dimensions, and line connection layout against the original part to ensure proper installation. Because evaporator replacement typically requires access to the HVAC case, inspect related seals, expansion valve components, and refrigerant lines during service. Fits 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, front. Fits 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, front.
