I have an aircon leak and need to replace the large part at the front of my 05 stype 3.0 v6. It looks like the radiator but is it not the condensor? or are they one in the same thing?

 

The condensor is a kind of radiator. I think the different term is used to make a short, clear way to indicate which radiator is meant (the oil cooler is another kind of radiator and so on).

 

AC system has evaporator (what gets cold, small "radiator" inside the dash) and condenser (what gets hot, larger "radiator" in front of your car).

If you have to service your AC due to full discharge, I recommend also asking them to drain and replace compressor oil and replace dryer. This will increase longevity of your fixed system.

 

many thanks!
