replacing condensor voyager difficult?
 
After my crash last week I was amazed that my car was still running perfectly ok.. Amazing since the other 2 cars involved were "total loss" :o
Brakes, steering, everything seemed in good order (besides the messed up headlight/hood/bonnet and bumper ofcourse) and started looking at the scrapyard for parts in the proper colour.
But today I concluded my Airco isn't working any more and since I bought a headlight at the scrapyard I looked behind the messed up bumper and found there is a hole in the condensor (assuming the radiator thing behind the grille is the condensor?) so there's no more fluid left in the system...

How hard is it to replace the condensor and is there something I should be aware of?
And is there a specific type needed for a 2.5CRD with manual transmission? (compared to automatic?)

I'm sure you will tell us how hard it is to renew it along with tips on the things you found to make it easier for us. So you are the Guinea pig, get your fingers skint and head grazed. We will all thank you afterwards for your help. And....Good Luck...
Don't you wish you were a Lumberjack, great outdoors, axe in hand, friends in checked shirts.
Then you burst into song, I'm a Lumberjack.....(Monty Python)....

He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

I found out a condensor isn't that expensive at all.. like €85,- replacement quality.. Looking at the Voyager manual it shouldn't be so hard replacing either.. But I think Im gonna wait for late spring 2015 before I start this repair .. Its not getting that hot anymore and I need quite some money for the other repairs already.
