Evap Core Help, heater related.
First time question so I will keep the maintenance updated after I get the issue resolved.
I recently purchased a 06 V8 4x4 for the wifey. Low miles, well cared for and really stoked to get it.
The heater is not working. The auto temp system recognizes the that the temp is not increasing so it tries to compensate by increasing air flow. Basically, not a blower issue or a recognition issue, rather it is just not blowing hot air.The A/C works great with no issues. I do not hear anything like a door opening or closing when I switch to heat.
Took it to a Toyota dealer today and the tech told me he couldn't figure out what was wrong and it would be $1150 to get to the evaporator coil to further diagnose. He spent about 15 minutes on the vehicle before coming to that conclusion. Yes I nearly choked. This sound a little odd to anyone?
I am aware that getting to the evaporator is a large job, but would the AC still be running if it were an issue specific to the evaporator?
BIg Mahalos for any help.
