Hello,
I've sprung a leak in my condenser, no pressure in the AC system, want to replace it myself, but, one question, does anyone know if I'll have to remove the radiator to get the condenser out. It does not appear that it can be taken out from the front.

This is a 2010 manual transmission.

Thanks in advance!

For my 12 I had to pull the radiator. I believe it's attached to it but I can't remember since that was 2 years ago

Are you sure the leak is at the condenser? If so, it is attached to the front of your radiator and if I recall, you should be able to remove it without pulling the entire radiator. Sorry for not being able to remember for sure.

Agrees though. Take it to a mechanic so they can pressure test it to make sure it is the condenser and not just a seal somewhere
