    WB air con condensor needed...

    My WB van has a leak in the condenser and needs to be replaced. My air con bloke has tried a few suppliers he deals with but can't find a direct replacement.
    We can adapt something similar if it comes to that, but I thought I'd see if we could find a new genuine one that someone might have laying around.
    Can anyone help please?

    I THINK they are the same, but can't be 100% sure nowadays.
    Too long since I changed one.

    My air con bloke says so, but I'm not so sure..... since the WB has the crossflow radiator ( and therefore support panel) I sort of assumed that the air con condenser would be more likely from a VB or VC commodore but he is pretty sure it's not.
    So I don't know.....

    If we are talking about genuine factory air/cond (with the big black GM A6 compressor) the WB condenser is very different to HJ/X/Z.

    Unless someone has a NOS one sitting around somewhere you won't find one.

    They haven't been made in either OEM or aftermarket for many years. I sold my last one over 5 years ago.

    There are plenty of other substitutes around, you just need to fabricate some mounts to suit & make some hose adaptors.

    It does hxbunny, thanks!

    Dr Terry, that's what my air con bloke said. I'm happy to make some new brackets, that's no big deal.

    Thanks for your help.
