Morning all,
Last night i start to strip my 2.5td for repairs and the condenser was knackered so just cut the pipes and removed it, but when i go to reinstall is there a guide on how to remove/install?
Its a right pig to remove with the double fans being there aswell
Any help appreciated
Sam

From what I remember, TD is no different to other Omegas.
Can't remember if the main cooling rad needs to come out - not sure there is enough room otherwise

I took the rad out when I did mine recently. Seeing as the condenser pipes come around the side of the radiator I don't think it can be done any other way.

Yes, took the rad out when I replaced mine. Don't remember any particular problems. I took the opportunity to give the rad a real good flush using some proprieary cleaner, I think Fernox or similar used in heating systems. :y
-
:y Yep, my fans came out as well when did my condenser (Well, Daz took em out :y).
I was lucky to get a new genuine GM Condenser which was perfect fit - Non GM ones I am lead to believe can be a pain :-\ (cost was a bit more but not much so I went Genuine Delphi GM one.)

Where did you get your condenser from and is it the same as a 2.2 petrol?
-
Same across the range iirc :y
Just be mindful that they tend not to come with the drier included, so budget accordingly if you're fussy... Unless it's clearly Donald, simply reuse the old one :y

Is it best to put new o rings in at the same time?
Any make of condenser better than the others for better fitting and quality?

That is entirely up to you ;)
Personal preference for radiator related parts in Nissens, just shop around for price :y

They do look very well made. Where did you get your o rings seals from Al?

Last condenser I bought was for a Mk6 fiesta, bout 8 months ago £45.. best to ring them for a price.
