Had my condenser replaced on Friday...usual thing, blowing ambient temp air. No charge to me for diag, fitting or re-gassing. Per above comment, still not ice-cold..but then my previous 1-series wasn't either...cold enough, but not as chilly as a previous Golf GTD....I know that R134 isn't as good a refrigerant as previous gas, but 134 has been around for many years now.

@Ianab- if your condenser was still leaking, you'd have lost the gas, not expelling water. You'd also be able to spot gas leak with a UV lamp, they re-gas with a green/yellow dye. What you're spotting on the ground sounds like the normal expulsion of water from the AC system (ie, are you sure you should have tightened whatever you tightened? You may have inadvertently created a moisture trap?)
