My condenser condensed its last today, sprung a leak at one of the connectors. On scouring the net I can find Mahle new, 2 year warranty for £248 from Design 911. Tiele.com have what looks like a very clean used one for £100. I am awaiting a reply about delivery charge/stock check.

Does anybody have a new or good used one they would be prepared to part with before I take the plunge with one of the above options?

Part number 944 573 011 03 / 944 573 011 05

Cheers

Just to update on this, lots of silly prices going about. I found the cheapest new was around £250 inc vat from Design911. Opted for a good 2nd hand one for £100 from Tiele.com. Looks quite new, few bashes on the fins but works perfectly well with no leaks. 2 new seals from Porsche, £8.16 for 2 tiny rubber seals, wild. I asked them to post them to me and OPC paid £6.60 for special delivery, probably still made a profit on the deal!

Edit to add: the weak point on these condensers seems to be the little metal pipe that goes from the high pressure discharge pipe connector (compressor to condenser pipe), to the main body of the condenser. I've had 2 fail there now. With this one I have sprayed some stone chip paint over it to protect it and hopefully inhibit corrosion. It's a pretty rubbish place to mount the condenser as it's very vulnerable to road debris.
