Hi

My air con isn't generating any cool air in the cabin. A professional mechanic had the bonnet up to look at things. They didn't get the car on a lift or remove any parts of the body work during the inspection. In conclusion they reported that there was hole in the condenser.
I've looked at the condenser as best I can. Looking through the front grill I took this photo. Could this be described as a 'hole'?

Thank you

Holes in ac components are usually found with UV light (if there is UV dye in the system) or a gas detector.  Visibly there is some tearing of the pipe, where the fins are bent, but the other methods of detection would  be more conclusive.
