When should I replace my AC condenser?

There is a number of reasons why an AC Condensor can go wrong. One example is when the condensor fan does not work properly, in other cases it can also be a case of the condensor being clogged up, usually because of the refrigerant getting contaminated with debris coming from other parts of the system. It is important these isues are addressed as quickly as possible to prevent further, more expensive, damage to other parts of the system.

Can an air conditioner condenser be repaired?

Often replacement is the only solution to a leaking or blocked condenser. A condenser that has been fixed will not achieve the same level of performance and reliability as a new unit.

How much does a replacement air conditioner cost?

The cost to replace an air conditioning unit on a car will depend on a number of factors.

An air conditioning condenser replacement on average could cost close to £400, but prices can range from around £200 to £600.

Is a faulty ac condenser an MOT failure?

No, an AC condenser is not regarded as a safety-critical item in your car (unlike brakes for example), so it not checked during an MOT. Hence, it should not cause an MOT failure.

What happens when the AC condenser goes bad?

The air conditioning (AC) condenser is responsible for cooling the refrigerant in the air conditioner, so if it goes bad, it will most likely fail to convert the gas to liquid, and it will not cool the air as it should.

Can I replace just the AC condenser?

Yes, it is possible to replace just the AC condenser, but it is generally not recommended depending on the extent of damage. The condenser is almost always replaced as part of further air conditioning system repairs.

Is the radiator and AC condenser the same?

No, the radiator and AC condenser are not the same in a car. The radiator is responsible for cooling the engine to keep it at an optimum temperature, while the AC condenser is responsible for converting the air conditioning refrigerant gas to liquid thus cooling the air inside the cabin.
