Hi all, looking for some recommendations regarding A/C condensers, they seem to vary in price quite a bit. Does anyone know the OEM. Thanks

GMG sounds good, is a dryer something i need to know about, and did you get your o rings from OPC?

Hopefully everyone is applying Dinitrol or ACF50 once they've fitted new condensers & / or Rads?

Do you use that stuff on Aluminium? Thought it was a rust preventer?

Just bought some from the bay.
They are made in Turkey, look ok no worse than the Hella ones that I returned to Design911, those Hella ones were made in Cambodia.
My thought was 2 year guarantee on cheap ones, or 2 year guarantee on Hella ones.
Will see if they fit, original ones lasted 14 years, hope these last at least 5 years.
Will keep you posted.[/img]

Just bought the 6 "O" rings that I need from Porsche Brooklands, thanks to the guys there, still served me even though they were in the middle of a stock take.
Late on a Friday afternoon at a stressy time customer comes first, respect to them.
These parts are more expensive than gold, weight for weight. Why are these o rings so expensive? £25.27
There must be a way of buying direct from the manufacturer.
