got my front bar off, pod filter/afm and aux fan off today to put in BOVs and my GB FMIC. had a look at the air con radiator? and it was looking pretty dirty and lots of crap in it. it looked a little tight to get it out from the front? has anyone taken it out from the front? or do i need to take the radiator out and go from the engine bay? (sounds like a lot of work). was thinking of taking it to work and using a air pressure hose to blow all of the shit out. thoughts? is there something specific i can clean it with after?
i think that u leave it in there get a hose, and put the hose in front of the engine and shoot it forward so that the dirt comes out from the direction that it went in
Posted Pics of mine Some time back, was in the same condition. This is directly in front of your engine radiator and is blocking most of the cooling air it should be getting. Iv'e cleaned mine twice now, Best way is remove your engine radiator,spray the air con rad with degreaser and use a high pressure hose to remove the gunk, You will be surprised what comes out. No need to take the air con rad out, other wise your going to have to get it regassed, turning a cheap maintanence job into an expensive one.
will give that a shot tomorrow! I was a little concerned using a high pressure hose in there, but will just be careful!
don't remove it or you'll be up for a re-gas.... just clean from within the car... oh and its called a A/C condenser
