I'm going to replace both condensers and have seen the Behr Hella kit inc dessicator on Design 911 for £229 plus vat

Has anyone fitted these or has any other recomendations?

Firstly, its a fab price. These are OEM parts, so the highest quality.

You can save money by using a pattern part but the quality is noticeably poorer. This might be an acceptable compromise if you don't have a long term view with the car, or that it's unlikely to see bad weather.

I do normally say that OE o-rings are worth paying the extra for. These never leak, whereas the patten parts can be hit and miss.

Lastly make sure you get it de/regassed correctly. The AC system on your car requires a lot of oil in it - of the order of 200ml. It should be vacuumed for 30mins as well. Your average Kwikfit may not check / cut corners.

They are OE, check Eurocarparts prices on internet and ebay(cheaper) as they are selling under carparts4less(or something like that) as well

 
In the end I used a guy in Solihull that fitted 2 X Nissens condensers plus drier plus regas/oil and check over for £310 all in. he also fitted my new Zunsport grill too.

very good service from him and he had a Cayman and 997 lined after me yesterday morning

 
Costelles , who did you use in Solihull?

I'm local & may be looking for the same to be done.
