    Wanted : RS2 Air Condition Condensor

    hi guys,

    just got back from the air con guys (as my ac isn't blowing cold) and the car needs a new condensor

    they aren't sure if it's the same part as the 80 avant (he thought it was a bit more special \ thicker)

    does anyone know where I can source this part?

    parts in NZ are pretty scarce (actually, people knowing what a RS2 is , is pretty scarce!)

    any help appreciated!

    thanks!

    Actually, looks like just searching the web is yielding pretty good results.

    Anyone had any experience with any of these guys?

      Hi

      I bought mine last year from Quattro Corner (details can be found on this site).

      From memory it was OEM (either Behr/Hella or Valeo I can't remember).

      Hope this helps.

              make sure you buy one that is for R134a as R12 is now illigal, this includes the R12 o-rings not being able to be used with R134a refrigerant as it perishes them rapidly and you will be back to square one....

                for £88.95 GBP + post this is very cheap and looks good quality

                **Edit, the fittings have been converted for r134a couplings also, so perfect!

                  thanks! does it matter what country I'm in (NZ) or is it a global standards thing with AC people?

                          Obviously, it's nice to get a new one if you can and can afford it but if you need to source one in NZ a secondhand one from any 5 cylinder Audi 80 series will do. If it's old enough to have R12 fittings then you'll need to change them to R134a fittings but that's easy enough to do.
