Hi,
I have watched for a long time the group but this is a first post as I am out of my depth with both Mazdas and air conditioning. A friend had a Mazda 323 Y plate (2001) in the main dealer for a regular service. The air conditioning system has a cracked condenser (cracked or pin hole or something like it).
Mazda says parts + fitting are around £450. Is this a fair price? Any point in trying to find an independent air conditioning specialist? I presume if a new condenser is needed, and it has to come from Mazda, it won't be cheap.
TIA for any thoughts.
Charles
