Time for a new air condenser

Had a slow leak which I managed to find and do a temp fix however the air condenser was in bad shape.

Had my mate replace it for me start to finish 110 minutes not bad and no bumper off either, nor the rad

did you find it with dye and UV light? I have been topping mine up with 20 quid worth of gas every summer for 4 years Laughing

EDIT, i thought you meant AC condenser but perhaps not Embarassed

Yep the AC condenser, iv had mine topped up twice just couldnt find the leak it always gets a full vac test which it passes the dye and regass. This time I found the leak bottom right hand corner with a uv light. I put chemical metal on it which helped but after pulling the old ac condenser found it holed at the rear as well and in genral poor shape.

Ice cold now front and rear

Bottom right hand corner chemical metal slowed it down



From the rear same corner you can see the dye
