a/c condensor replacment
I have a 2001 Venture with a leaking condensor. I think it is leaking from the mounting bracket. Has anybody replaced a condensor, how difficult is it? Does the condensor come out the front W/O removing the bumper cover? If I remove the air intake box with I have the access I need to the lines? The system has had the hole in the condensor for 8 months, do I need to replace the dryer also? I appreciate any helpful instructions, my Chiltons manual does not give any A/C info.
Thanks, Terry

Re: Replacing A/C Condenser
Terry,
Leaking from the lower-left bracket (as viewed from the front)? I had my condenser replaced back in March. You can see the story at the link(s) below. A/C Condenser Replaced There is a TSB (Tech Service Bulletin) on that. If (when) you get it replaced, make sure you get the updated condenser. See pictures of the leak here (middle of the page). The instructions I had (from the TSB) estimated about 2 hours of labor to replace the condenser, but the (trusted) shop that did the work said 3.5 to 4 hours. I believe them. The condenser will NOTcome out from the front -- it is bolted on to the radiator. Plus the A/C system has to serviced (vacuum, recharge, etc.) properly, so I would recommend taking it to a reputable shop. Take Care,
