Hi, iv got a 92 3.1, my condensor is leaking and i need to replace it or repair it, can these things be brazed? where can i get a new one shipped to the uk? over hear a guy at a pontiac shop wants $400us(about £200uk) for a used one and he can kiss my *** if he thinks im paying that.
if someone would be so kind to get me a price, and maybe let me pay them to get it and send it to me i would be trully gratefull.

have u tried ordering from autozone.com???? i know you can have stuff shipped from thier site just not sure aboutto england

 

Forget repairing it. Replacment is the only way to go.

 

i found one on autozone for $199 but i cant work out how to get it sent, the only way i can log in is with a us zip code, funny cos the only one i know is 90210 for some reason lol.

 

If your up for a little more Work. Look for a Parallel flow condenser. It will increase the Performance of your system by 1/3. Its a lot better design when using 134a. If you look at your Condenser you will see its a Tube and Fin design, then look at a car with Factory 134a, You will notice it is across flow like a radiator.

If you get a universal you will have to have the lines converted to hook to it.

You can score one from Ebay for a pretty good deal.

im still using r12 at the moment, infact last summer i was running 413a its a drop in gas and worked fine, the condensor has gone at the bottom where all the wet leaves and crap was sitting, i expect the rad will go soon aswell.

that uni condensor on ebay, what type of connectors go in to it? as i may be able to get some extra pipes made up. would prefer a standard one for ease of fiitting but im open minded.

I don't know the size. I am doing this conversion on mine.

I am going to have the Hose replaced that comes of the manifold and goes to the condenser. Then the High side line There is a connection between the condenser and dryer, I'm going to convert that to hose also.

If your sticking with r12 it won't help as much.
