Title: Aircon Condenser
Post by: Reeflodge on December 9, 2016, 16:46
I am having trouble sourcing a Aircon Condenser someone told me that the one on the Corolla would fit but it looks completely different!
My one has the dryer on the left if looking from the front and the pipes connect quite low down on the right,
The size is 720mm long 320mm high and the connector for the pipes are 100mm apart

Anyone know where I can get one???

If I get chance this weekend I will take photos to groove it.Don't trust ebay photos. In fact I have a car with the A/C condenser in still I will put 2 others in front of it and we can play spot the difference.

I have looked at 100s of Corolla ones on ebay and none of them match the MR2 PFL Condenser.

If anyone can find one your cleverer than me!

I've trawled the web previously and come across this site:

 m https://www.aaronradiator.co.uk/car-rad ... /c-2to333/ (https://www.aaronradiator.co.uk/car-radiators/toyota-radiator/toyota-mr2-roadster-radiator/radiator-toyota-mr2-roadster-00-1.8i-a/c-2to333/) m

I've not called them so don't know whether they actually do it, let alone recommend them.  I do intend to change my condenser in Spring so have made a note of them.  I do know US ones are a mirror image and so cannot be used.  Please let us know where you manage to source one from as I (as well as others) are probably going down the same path in the future.

well spotted!  Bah, the Mk3 MR2 condenser page is no longer being found.  I should have bought one when I found it previously.
