[s-cars] R12 Condenser

[JAM]

It appears that they show the same condensers for the 92 s4 as for the 95 s6 
and that would be wrong.  IIRC, the condenser for the early cars looks 
completely different from the later condensers.....I'm pretty sure what are 
pictured are later fitment.
Hope you find what you're after, Eric.  I wonder if the later style 
condenser can be made to work with the early system.....maybe just a matter 
of getting some adapters?

My understanding is that it's not as simple as swapping all the parts, there 
are fittings that are
a part of the car that need to be changed too.

Good luck

FYI Rockauto.com lists two ac condenser options, I would call and confirm 
accuracy.
