Tis the same one on both models. Will check CAPS for the part no
Think I paid $300 for a s/hand one last year from a wrecker.

not really sure.....i went to regas and the guy said theres possibly a crack in the condeser....at least i think he said condenser....could be compressor?........anyway, they tried pumping gas in but it didnt stay....so watevers holding the gas has got a leak?
maybe i should get them to put the dye in to see where its leaking from first.....could it be as simple as a loose hose?

if he say it's the condenser most likely it is, yes could be the o-ring leaking too but ... i personally don't think so

so theres like three main parts for the air con?
1. the compressor
2. the condensor
3. air con evaporator
i'm confused cos whether the condesor and the compressor are the same?

well i was reffering to the aluminium core part that sits in between the radiator and the bumper, mine has a pin hole at the top but i can't be bothered to take it to a sheetmetal shop, get it welded and then put it back in... i wanted to do a straight swap.
