Just had my 2012 Passat serviced and was told the Air con condenser is falling apart and requires replacing plus seals and a re gas. Want to charge just shy of £1000 for it. You video makes me want to try it myself! Also told the console bushes are splitting so another £600… your videos will hopefully be saving me a fair packet!

Great video! I have a couple questions if you don’t mind? I have a leak on my b7 Passat from the condenser as well, did you have you system vacuumed/drained before you changed the condenser? I have read lot of conflicting advice regarding moisture being left in the system?. Can I not just have the system vacuumed after I install the new condenser and then regassed? Have you had your system vacuumed/regassed yet? Thanks for any help!

Hi buddy well I think there might be some truth behind that as I fitted the new one, took it to my local garage I use and trust and we vac tested it for the 5 minutes required and started putting the gas in but would only take around the 300 of the 660 that the system holds so he ran the engine for 5 mins to get some circulation going then reclaimed the gass and re vacuumed the system and left it for the 5 mins vac test required and then she took the hole 660 so there must have been some moisture in there that needed flushing that the vac couldn’t pull out

Great tutorial! I have the same car, same color too and after 10 years the condenser looks horrible. Lots of stone chips and corrosion from very salty roads. Which Mahle have you bought, the AC 666 000S? How is the quality compared to the genuine VW? Decent? Need to do the same job on mine and I'm not sure about which one I should buy.

Hi buddy glad you found it useful. I think it was that one, it is the black one on Carparts direct and the quality is spot on I can’t fault it to be fair for sun £100

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have an AC Charging machine? On this cars the engine should never run with the system on empty as the compressor is always engaged.

@@MultiPinasco no buddy I took it to my local garage I use and they gassed it up for me. You can run it without gas as I ran this for months with no gas in it and she is fine now

Funny you say this I took my b7 to ATS had air con then had none, I decided to regas myself could only get to 40psi tho before a gross leak started. Did the condenser fix yours ok?
