There is no filter. That black stuff reported is the disintegrated foam sealing material used in there. With the '86 and newer A/C housing you can remove the rear baffle to see what's inside, but to service anything really requires dropping the entire unit. See the Bentley for that multi-hour job.

I was just eyeing those to flat head bolts on the bottom of my rear 'shelf' that houses the A/C. Sounds like those are for support but I wondered, is there not a filter somewhere on the A/C system that I should clean? I'm thinking after 26 years it's due. -- Neil2 '82 Diesel Westfalia (Ducky) '86 Vanagon (SaVannah) '08 170" 2500 Mega Roof Sprinter (Moby) '90 Westfalia Subagon Fulltiming since August 2008 Nunquam Pendite Divendium |
