About Condenser
AC condensers are a critical component of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. The AC condenser transfers heat from the refrigerant to the atmosphere and thus is comparable to your engine’s radiator insofar as function.

Examples of faults that are commonly seen in AC condensers include external damage to fins or tubes, pinhole leaks, and clogged passages. When these occur the condenser usually has to be replaced (save for minor damage to fins which can be straightened with a fin “comb”). so when should i replace my car condenser? 1.Leaking. 2.Air not as cool as it should be. 3.No cool air at all.
Safety Tip
The AC condenser system is under very high pressure, up to several hundred PSI when operating, and thus you can be seriously injured.AC condenser of the replace would be best left to the professionals. Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary.
Replace Steps
1.Locate your A/C condenser. Inspect the condenser for cracks that can lead to leaking.
2.Recover the refrigerant (Discharge the AC system). This will need to be done with a recovery machine. If the Freon has already leaked out you will not need to do this.
3.Remove any grilles, supports, lock braces to gain access to the condenser.
4.Remove the condenser's refrigerant lines. Remove the condenser mounting bolts. Remove the condenser.
5.Install a new condenser making sure any rubber cushions fit properly on the condenser assembly.
6.Pour a small amount of compressor oil into the line fittings. Reconnect the A/C lines. Replace all O-rings. Re-install any parts that were removed in order to gain access to the condenser.
7.Evacuate all remaining refrigerant using a specific AC machine that pulls a vacuum on the system. Hold the vacuum for 10 minutes to check for leaks.
8.Recharge the A/C system with the recommended type and amount of refrigerant. Each vehicle takes a different amount of refrigerant.
9.Test A/C system by measuring the temperature coming out of vents inside the vehicle.
