AC condenser

Just noticed that my AC is not working,,, God knows how long it's been like that as I tend not to use it very often. I'm fairly sure their is no gas in the system so been looking for obvious damage. Am I right in saying the AC condenser is the small rad at the front ( behind the grill) 2010 RRS, TDV8

Looking at the images I have found none seem to match exactly what I have,,,, are the front 2 rads part of the AC system?. To me it looks like the front 2 are AC, the next one is the intercooler and the one right at the back is engine coolant. Condensers I have seen for sale only indicate one Rad, No mention of the small one at the very front.

Supercharged 3.6 TDV8 Very Happy . Sometimes I wish it was a supercharged,,, profile is correct but sometimes ordering parts I've ended up with the earlier 2009 model as a lot of places lump the 2009/10 models all the same whereas in reality there are a lot of differences.

my guess would be the middle one.

follow the pipes of the middle one and see if in has a ally connection block on it by the coolant tank. That's A/C


I changed mine today by removing the bumper and slam panel. Bolts were rather seized

I can see the pipes coming from centre one that go to the high / low pressure service valves,, which matches the line drawing from advance factors site,, just never seen mention of this tiny one at the front,,, might ask my indie.
Why did you change yours?? Daft question, obviously U/s but was there any obvious damage or did you have it leak tested? . Did you have to remove all of the radiators or just manage doing the AC one. 2010 RRS, TDV8

No obvious damage.

I removed the 2 steering cooler pipes out the way.
The coolant rad stayed where it was

Yeah,, i've had a look about as best as I can but as you know most of it is buried out of sight,, I can see a slightly damp section on the bottom left of the condenser,, possibly oily residue from the refrigerant but no sign of any damage 2010 RRS, TDV8
