Mercedes-Benz A/C Evaporator Core

Restore cabin cooling performance with this TYC A/C evaporator core, part number 97253. Built with a parallel flow configuration, it is sized for front HVAC applications and matches the OE-style block inlet and outlet fitting design used on select Mercedes-Benz models.

• Parallel flow A/C evaporator core for efficient refrigerant heat transfer
• Core dimensions: 12.13 in. height, 9.25 in. length, 1.50 in. thickness
• Block-style inlet and outlet fittings for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications
• Inlet diameter: 0.46 in.; outlet diameter: 0.69 in.
• Direct replacement style for front HVAC evaporator service

Fitment and Application Details

Compatible with select Mercedes-Benz front HVAC systems, including SL450, SL550, SL63 AMG, SL65 AMG, E400, E500, E550, E350, E63 AMG S, SL400, C250, C350, C63 AMG, CLS400, CLS500, CLS550, CLS63 AMG S, GLK250, GLK300, GLK350, SLS AMG, C300, CLS63 AMG, E250, E300, E63 AMG, and CLS350 applications across the listed model years. This TYC 97253 evaporator core is a fitment-based replacement for vehicles using the same parallel flow configuration and front position layout.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 204 830 00 58 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling from a restricted evaporator core
• Refrigerant flow issues caused by internal blockage or contamination
• HVAC performance loss in front-mounted Mercedes-Benz evaporator systems
• Service replacement needs after leak detection at the evaporator assembly
• Temperature control problems tied to an aging A/C evaporator core

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s HVAC configuration, fitting style, and core dimensions before installation. This evaporator core is specified for front applications with parallel flow construction, so matching the inlet and outlet design is important for proper fitment. Professional A/C service procedures, including system evacuation and recharge, are recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

TYC manufactures replacement HVAC components to meet application-specific fitment requirements for the listed Mercedes-Benz models. Part number 97253 is built to align with OE-style dimensions and connection design for direct service use.
