Adding Air Con!

[daddyone]

I really want to add mine back in... I doubt the bits are complete, so I'll need to get hold of stuff. I have the short intercooler pipe run and battery in the boot, so I know it'll take some modification, any suggestions?

Start by cataloguing everything you're missing?
Compressor?
Heat exchanger?
Reservoir?
pipework?

 

[daddyone]

Let's assume I have none of it. There's a box full of bits in the boot, the AC was removed by the previous owner, the car isn't with me at the moment and I want to prepare bits to fit when it returns

I'm so what your saying is you have none of it.

 

[lakeview]

there was only a few intercoolers you could use a long out of production forge same with pace and the norris design one think you can still buy the radtek if not youll have to get a custom made front intercooler

I just removed all the a/c in my engine bay but nothing inside the car.

I just removed all the a/c in my engine bay but nothing inside the car.

There's a matrix inside the box behind the glove compartment.

Is it easy to remove or an ass?

 

[Dangerous Dave]

It's easy but the problem you have is if you remove it you need to build a box and fit it where it was otherwise you won't have any heaters as the air pass through the air con matrix.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Sorry just had a read of the post again remove the matrix but plug the holes that the pipe go through in to the engine bay

 

[daddyone]

Dave, stop going on about "butt plugs"

Seriously, I am going to the trouble of making the interior more "habitable" and would really like to have A/C working again. Got some nice Evo 7 Recaros coming next week, just need those doorcards and dash ;-)

P.S. Is that your nice red GTIR on eBay at the moment? if so GLWTS!

 

[Dangerous Dave]

I think I have a matrix you can have I might even have a few other bits for it but I'm not too sure without having a look.

And yes that's one of my red Rs on eBay the other one is very nearly ready but I might keep that one.
