If you kneel down in front of the car and look up where the lower front air dam is, thats the condensor you see. Its in front of the radiator.

Do you want some pics on how to clean that thing. Its how I've been doing it for 11+ years, works great.

Its the only way to clean it properly. Simple Green doesn't do much. Its the physical debris that clogs up a condensor that causes overheating and poor A/C performance issues.

You have to take the radiator out. Then you can get to the condensor and "bang" all the **** out of it.

Let me find the thread where I already posted the pics and wrote everything.

Here's everything: Amd warning again......do not pull the passengers side of the condensor away from the front frame. This is where both metal lines attach to the passenger sides of the condensor, top and bottom. The can both move a little bit, but don;'t move them a whole lot or the top metal line can crack or break. The bottom line is flexible and won't break.
