Aircon condenser replacement
« on: 16 June 2014, 18:41:00 »

I might look for a professional to do this, but in the meantime is the guide for a PFL the same as for a FL?
TIA  :y

I can't think of a reason why it would be different, other than some FL's have a different autobox cooler.

And an extra bracket holding the evaporator canister, might only be limited to early 3.2 autos though :-\

If I tell SWMBO I'll be 2 hours, she'll bank on me taking 4  ::)  ::) It's your time, so it doesn't matter if you take all afternoon ...... unless of course you'd promised your SWMBO you'd do something else afterwards   :y :y

and while all that's out,you can clean it all, and put a new auxiliary belt on, grease the aux tensioner, all easier with the rads and bag pipes out the way.  :y

There's sooooo much should be done at this point. As you say, I hate taking the bagpipes off but when they're out its a lot easier to do stuff.
