A/C condenser replacement, R134 Leak

Hi, Team,

I have The following Challenge on my G.

I had some Litle leak in with R134 ac refrigerant > with duration aprox 2 month.

After many rechage, AC technissian found the Leak using AC dryer with UV light.

Leak found on the lower Edge in from off Condenser.

G37 is a One Part that have AC condenser + Radiator and + Oil Cooler.


AC condernse is too hard or imposible to weld a small cranck from Backguard side.

> I tried to search in many page ebay, rockauto, and other web with price 350$ and 420$.
I think that in't a just price for a car with a lot know issue > overall A lot problem with this generation coupe

I need replace Radiator + conderser toguetter > Recomendation by AC technissian

Any here in the forum found another alternative. or ork arround, before to replace AC radiator.?

Replace only a generic Conderser with support for AC switch > Other car brand that fit .

I most easy work with Flex hose universal + AC Pipe and replace a generic AC condenser ,in comparation to replace a brand new for Junk Car.

thanks is advance

Will not sure why the leak started but if it's from vibration or stress it will most Likely get worse. But remember that all air conditioning Tutuapp 9Apps Showbox products are bad for the environment. Freon was way worse though.

there aren't any condensers to add on. If you go with a CSF or Mishimoto, you cna atleast replace one or the other in the future as those was separate (radiator and condensor) and only bolted together.

I'm looking for a radiator/condenser as well. I'm fine with recycling.
Usually a used condenser/radiator will show visually if it's bad.
I refuse to pay that much for a unit, If mine was in decent condition I would have pulled it and tried welding it.
I rather pay $100 in weld time, dont care for looks as long as it holds pressure.
