Been to get my air conditioning re gassed today but turns out condenser is leaking so needs replacing so they couldn't do it.

My question is 1 - are all 206 condensers the same? 2 - are they easy to replace (eg pipes bolt to condenser or something else)

Thanks

Yes, did it last year. I removed front end in order to get easy access. Removed fan, undid the two bolts of the pipes on the ac. Lift it out. swap over for the new parts and put it back together, didn't take very long. Very straight forward to do..
