Default Put a hole in my a/c condensor core.

Hi folks,

I got a bit enthusiastic with my intercooler installation an managed to hole the condensor core. The gas has leaked away.

What is the cheapest way to have cold A/C again? To fit a second hand core? To get the old one soldered?
I realise I need it to be regassed.

I was hoping that someone has explored the options around this to save me doing the legwork.

I just swore, listened for a few seconds and kept working. I am sure I would have pulled a priceless face.
I got to listen to it hiss for the next 2 hours.

Mate I had replaced mine not so long ago with the radiator, and I ended up just going for a second hand one for about $45 from a wrecker and then just had it regassed.

Good luck with it all
