Title: Its too dam hot, air conditioning?
Post by: smoove on 03 June 2009, 16:33

Got a mk3 1997 16v GTI, with this dam weather, when i turn the heaters to cold, its not cool enough, warmer than the air outside! Is it possible to put air con in it somehow?

Not really, you would need to find a donor car and transfer all the parts over, would be a lot of work.

MAHOOSIVE job that involves chopping up the bulkhead too and replacing the whole front end panel for the twin fan and rad combo. A VR6 setup wouldn't fit either so you'll be pretty hard pushed to find a full setup from a mk3 16v with air con!

Wouldnt bother with this conversion. Its more involved than swapping an engine tbh.

You'd be cheaper to just buy another one thats got air conditioning as standard.
