Unfortunately "Photobucket", which is a third party picture hosting website & where those pics are stored, was free but has recently decided to start charging a subscription & at the same time has blocked all third party sharing until that subscription is paid.

I actually replaced my condenser just over a year ago. but looks like another stone has burst it last week!
Think I can remember every thing, but its always handy to have pictures for reference...

Looks to be a lot of dodgy condensers around!

May you please send me the guide to the pics. Thanks.

Hello all, thanks for the useful thread. After losing air con efficiency and finding a condenser leak it was also time for me to get a local garage put a condenser into my 49k mile 2010 C30 T5.

I sourced a condenser using Skandix VIN check to confirm the correct Valeo unit, this was the correct part, fitted and the air con works again...

But I now have a problem that stops me driving the car. It did idle OK for some time during regassing, and moved around the car park under light throttle without issue, but when I went to drive and where the turbo started spooling the car stalled and refused to restart. I'm suspecting it's an intercooler connection and have told the garage this, it's been plugged into diagnostic and nothing is showing, zero issues prior to the fitment.

It's now resting at the garage to do a track back search for anything not well connected. Hopefully they will resolve today. Any ideas or comments from you chaps to help?

Much appreciated in advance as I'm rather stuck at the moment.

Problem resolved, one of the boost pipes to the intercooler had not been properly refitted.

Problem resolved and air con resumed... Which is handy since it's stifling hot!

There's a few extensions you can get for Chrome that fix the Photobucket links so you can see the images in the thread (and other threads with this issue).
