I will be changing my a/c condenser and there are so many to choose ,from sites such as ebay , fcp , rock auto, eeuroparts. If you have installed one and you are happy with its fit and performance please chime in. I am sold on a four seasons accumulator , recommended by a member on the 900 section.
cheers,

    mmm.no takers..ugh. Ok I ordered from Amazon the four seasons accumulator...5 bucks folks...,what a deal and the APDI condenser 80 bucks. They should arrive shortly and I will do the install and report back. The original Condenser had a leak in one of the upper bend in one of the coils. I tried JB weld but did not hold apparently. Not too sure however as I have not taken it apart as yet.

      I hate to bust your bubble but a friend used to work at 4Seasons when they had their warehouse on Northern Blvd in Queens NY. He said they "repackaged" the same 4Seasons AC parts (compressor, hoses, accumulators, condensors) under almost every aftermarket brand name. Stickers, wrapping, boxes, etc... all same 4Seasons made/sourced parts.

      So if you buy the "OEM" brand unit in a non Volvo box it is most likely a 4Seasons product with considerable price mark up.
