junglie 2 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hi, I have just bought a 2005 Mk 3 GS 300 and started a new owner thread. It needs a new aircon condenser and have been quoted £290+VAT to have it fitted and the system serviced and re-gassed. Does that sound reasonable? Thanks, Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 2,113 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 If it was a genuine part then it would be excellent as the part alone is around £280. A third party unit can be found for around £70+, but most of the cost would be labour - probably 2 to 3 hours will the regas so the price doesn't seem too bad, maybe a little high.

KenMavor 67 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Rockauto have condensers from £37 to £81 so maybe then 3 hours labour to take out and replace with new one then regas. Labour say 200 Condenser say 80 Regas say 70 Total roughly 350 so your price is pretty good I would say. Couple of things to check. 1. You are getting a decent make of condenser. I suspect the £290 figure is a pretty cheap condenser. 2. Get them to replace any hoses, clips etc., anything that you can whilst the work is getting done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
