When a leaking or failed evaporator is behind weak A/C, the DENSO A/C Evaporator Core 476-0011 replaces the heat exchanger where refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the air passing across it. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2003 Toyota Echo with all engines, which uses one core per vehicle.
Proper air-conditioning performance depends on the evaporator, and DENSO builds this unit on its OE experience in evaporator development. Its configuration, tanks, fin pitch, core dimensions and materials are made to meet the OE manufacturers' specifications.
Every DENSO First Time Fit® evaporator passes the company's durability and function tests. Country of origin: Thailand. This listing is for one A/C evaporator core.
Signs this part may need replacing include weak or warm air from the vents and refrigerant loss traced to the evaporator. These symptoms can have other causes, so confirm the fault before replacing the core. Installation requires the refrigerant to be recovered and the system evacuated and recharged. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Will this evaporator core fit a 2000-2003 Toyota Echo?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2003 Toyota Echo with all engines, and that application uses one core.
What does an A/C evaporator core do?
It is the heat exchanger where refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the air blown across it, so cooled air can be delivered to the cabin.
What design features does the DENSO 476-0011 have?
It uses thin tubes and short fins for heat exchange and separate flow paths to reduce pressure loss. A zinc layer adds corrosion resistance, and fin slits improve drainage.
What are signs an evaporator core may need replacing?
Common signs are weak or warm air from the vents and refrigerant loss traced to the core. These symptoms can have other causes, so confirm the leak or fault before replacing it.
What should I know before installing an evaporator core?
The refrigerant must be recovered before removal, and the system must be evacuated and recharged after installation. Follow the vehicle service information or use a qualified A/C technician.
