Default Question about air-con condernser

Local Subaru garage has said the condenser has a very small leak. Said a new one would be £250 (or so) plus labour. Which would be about £500 all in. Gulp!

I'm wondering if the condenser can be spot welded to cure the leek? Anyone have any experience.

MY98 UK turbo btw

they can be but youll be very lucky to find it and would have to be very good at welding

then if it leaked again you would have to shell out to repare it again

just take it to a garrage which will charge u less i would recomend
