Section 20 (HVAC): Condenser: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Make sure the condenser fins are free from dust and insects. If the fins are clogged, clean by blowing air or water through them.
NOTE: To prevent dust and water from getting into the condenser, this work must be done when the condenser is installed in an actual vehicle.
Check the condenser to see if it shows any sign of oil. If oil ooze or gas leak occur from the condenser, replace it with a new one.
