Questions on condenser
Mates, need to check with u guys on questions regarding aircon condenser ?
Is the Lantis 1.8 condenser similar with the one use in Lantis V6 ? What happen was I made a stupid mistake yesterday ? I wanted to warm up my car and when I cranked it, I didn't noticed that the car was actually in first gear !!! So, wat happened next was, the car jump forward and hit the wall on my house. No major damage though, bumper still intact but the condenser (the one in front of radiator) leaked. A small hole was found. So, now, I am driving without air condition (in malaysia, its hell without aircon). 2 options for me : 1) Weld the little hole. 2) Look for a used unit and replace it. Sad... |

I would prob look for a good used unit as it can be a pain to repair the condenser on an a/c system with regard to changing tems and pressures inherent to the system as well as the contaminants left behind from welding...being that the vehicles you are looking to getting a part from are the same chassis the a/c condenser should be the same...where the bigger differences come from are for mounts, radiators adn exhausts...the company will use the same products on as many types of vehicles as it can to cut manufacturing costs....I am judging this by experience wiht US market cars...such as mine with the 1.8bp and the mx-3 v-6 which while having alot of dfferent parts the a/c system is almost identical.....having blatheed on like this...I would take a close look at yours and the possible donor...side by side to make sure
