01 2.0 DIY A/C Condenser/Drier replacement - component part
Hi,

I've just had a leak in my A/C diagnosed via a nitrogen test as being on a small pipe between the condenser and drier (seen with my own eyes). I want to replace the condenser and drier myself and then take the system for evacuation/oil and gas recharge.

Can any one advise if I need any special tools etc? I am handy with spanners so I can dismantle and unbolt things no problem, but will I be able to join up the pipe work to the new condenser and drier without soldering/special tools etc?

Thanks.
