    Owners recommend cleaning the cabin filter regularly to help prolong the life of the evaporator. You can DYI it if you have the time. Not sure if the 2014 models still have it behind the glove box.

    My evaporator leaked as well a few months ago. Had it replaced at MI since it was already there for some maintenance.

    My Fozzie is 5 years old and the evaporator was around 20k. You could probably source a cheaper one; I just didn't have the time to go around looking for one.

    Thanks. Based on feedbacks here,- 4 -5 years bumigay ang evaporator. I just reach 1.5 years on the fozzy so may panahon pa mag ipon.
