Just got told I need a new condenser for my 98 Terzo. Aircon specialist in the area can fit a re-conditioned condenser, re-gas new dryer element/filter? etc for £500 which seems a little steep especially when the money could be put towards other mods.

Anyone know how easy it is to change the condenser? and do I need to replace the dryer element/filter?

I have done a search on the topic but nothing comes up on replacing the condenser.

Help appreciated

Cheers

Jon

 

Changing the condenser is the easy bit, its discharging and recharging the system that you won't be able to do youself. So you won't save much money by doing it diy.

£500 does sound a bit steep to me though.

 

If it helps i paid £70 for a re-gas,then required a new condensor at £268.28 plus vat at a dealer.
