Air Con Dryer problem

Hoping someone can help.
Has anyone had a problem getting the condensor dryer seal on the side of the main condensor to keep gas sealed in so to speak. Aparently I have a leak there on a fairly new condensor (a replica part) and the Indy carnt get it to seal even with all his approved, recommended and OEM seals. This has been like this since originally fitted a few months ago.
Im now left with trying to get the full condensor swapped under waranty and also paying for the refit and the gas again.
My indi is an approved AC agent licensed and with all the modern equip.
Any advice greatly appreciated Thumbs Up

probably best to bite the bullet and fit another aftermarket condensor. A brand the garage recommends. What are they £120? Cheaper in the long run ? But I guess the labour on top is a lot Confused unless you do it yourself.

And get a refund on the faulty part maybe?

Hopefully Pete.

The Indy recommends Genuine LR parts only but ive purchased this off one of our forums sponsors so in fairness will await there response but either way looking at around another £200 plus gas to do again even with a refund on the part not to mention the inconvenience. Got to pick her up again now and looking at at least 3wks before I can get her back in as they are extremely busy Sad

Begs the question should we always go for overpriced LR units Rolling Eyes

With condensers they coroud away so fast its not worth paying premium prices. But you need them to seal.
