Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know a cheap source for new condensors for my 996 C4S? I had my system recharged, but it's stopped working again after a few weeks. I can see oil on one of the condensors, so i know it's leaking - wish I'd known about this before I had the system re-charged, ho hum. I believe that OPC get their's from Behr, but I'm not 100% sure. Any advice appreciated

Alpinair at Hanger Lane, he has after-fitted a/c to a Merc and a Porsche for me, and he uses the same parts as OEM, He isn't the cheapest, but I am happy to recommend him, Owners name is Sam, and he's a nice guy. Tell him Pat from Cornwall passed you on. Alpinair Unit 7, Manhattan Business Park, Westgate, Hangerlane, London, W5 1UP, UK Free Phone: 0808 120 3930 www.alpinair.co.uk

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Pat, I have used them myself now I come to think about it, albeit 12 years ago on a new merc I had. cheers Ray

POST 4Original post

OE condensers are made by Behr - if you go aftermarket ensure they're Behr.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thought as much Asin=m - do you know who supplies them in the UK? Ray

POST 6Original post

I recently bought mine from GSF, but they had to order it in. Check they cna get a Behr for you.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks mate - yes why didn't I think of them, I'll call tomorrow. cheers ray

POST 8Original post

cheltenham radiators £96 each I fitted mine last month and now im freezing and happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK here's what I have found; OPC £278 + vat each Alpinair £118 + vat each (aftermarket) Alpinair £165+ vat each (Behr) On the basis that the original only lasted 4 years I'm wondering if I should go for the cheapest option. Anyone got any experience with these components? Ray

POST 10Original post

Worth trying ECP and GSF for a price on the Behr. My undersatnding is they corrode due to leaves and crap gathering in the aperture against the condensers. Regular cleaning out might help prolong their life?

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Asim, GSF don't/won't supply the part. Ray
