So my ac condensor crack about a half inch away from the fitting to the compressor line. And chrysler wants $800 for a new one. Any one have any ideas? The thin tubing looks risky to tig weld and. I doubt jbweld will hold the psi

 

Check with your local radiator shop to price a new aftermarket. James

 

I just checked the yellow pages. Lol don't see any radiator shops any where near here

 

DODGE CROSSFIRE 04-05 A/C CONDENSER CAR AC *NEW* | eBay

I would call them and see if a Dodge Crossfire condenser will interchange with a Chrysler Crossfire condenser

 

Replaced mine last year with the one from an 03 SLK32, which you can find aftermarket for about $180. Had a hard time convincing the AC shop that it would work, but they're exactly the same, and even carry the same (aftermarket) part number.
If you need it, I can look at the car tonight, and get the part number for a cross reference ?

 

Thanks for the ideas. I brought the condenser to a local race car shop and had them weld the crack and pressure test it for $30 bucks. The way the lower lines are clamped together im sure more ppl are going to have this problem .... I would def suggest drilling the rivit out on the clamp and just leave it off.

 

Can this be seen from the bottom or top? I will take a look when I can.

 

The two clamped hard lines are at the bottom on the condensor on the left side. I don't think you can see it from up top.if you take off the fog light covet you can prob see it with out tearing the car apart
