Default Whats involved in changing the air con radiator

Is this just a matter of swapping the radiators or will the system need re-charging?

If so how do i re-charge it?

Cheers

I presume it has. My main radiator has started leaking and spraying water over my air con radiator and now when i turn my air con on the air smells damp for a few secs. It all still works fine though.

Why will it need de-gasing?

if you are just replacing coolant radiator you should be ok!
just be careful not to stress any pipes on air con condensor. as long as you don't disconnect air con condensor you should be fine!if air con is still working you have no hole in air con condensor,you may have been lucky and have a hole in cooling fins that has gone through to coolant rad!
