An example of a 14" SPAL fan that would fit the brackets nicely.

Hi, looking to replace my condenser on my 2014 110 TDCI SW, clearly the original is very expensive so looking at the alternative ones on Maltings 4x4 and ebay. Does the SPAL fan I have seen mentioned on other posts fit the Maltings condenser?

Also how much gas is required in this condenser as it appears to be physically larger than the original as it does not have a frame? I di search but could only find the mass required for the standard one at 600g + or - 25g.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

I can't help you directly but I have bought a similar condenser. I plan on having it refilled by an experienced AC tech. Back in the day, it was all done with gauges. I used to do quite a few that way too. Been a while for me so I'll leave to a tech with more recent experience.

Finally got round to purchasing one of the aftermarket condensers and the Spal fan.

When placing the fan on the condenser and lining up the brackets to bolt it in place, i noticed the pinion shaft of the fan motor was just touching the face of the condenser, did people when fitting this fan space the fan a little bit off the face of the condenser when bolting it in place? or make up some spacers to sit under the brackets fitted to the condenser to lift them away from its surface by a few mm?

Regards

Mark

I haven’t fit mine yet but I did mount the Spal fan to the condensor. I fit foam pads between the fan and the condensor.

That would work on mine as it only needs spacing a mm or so am also considering 3d printed spacers for the brackets to lift it off the face of the condenser a mm or two
