getting a climate control soon. What i wanted to know is will the climate control loom plug straight in, plug n play for my car (dont have ac) he is giving everything from the inside (looms control dash bits) jus need engine stuff
-
You will need to change the complete heater box assembly which is dash out.
It is a major job
-
il be getting everything for it. I know its a dash out job and i have 4days to do it with help of fellow dubsters on here (mad4vw's & ozzie bizzle)
what i wanted to know is that will there be a connector inside my car for the climate control loom to plug it in?

Doubt it, the looms tend to be very different.
-
It will probably go to the fusebox which means it may plug right in.
What are you getting it from? A Vr6 Highline?
-
think it is from a vr len. Well the guy said his giving me everything from the interior (looms dash bits control panel) il post up a pic of it all today

One piece of advice I would offer is it might be a good idea to fit a new matrix whilst it is out, not expensive and well worth doing now whilst you have the chance.

Yes will be fine or try ECP

ECP are SH1T!!! :angry:
-
In that case see if you have a radiator specialist nearby, that is where I got mine
-
Respect for taking on such a job but is it really worth it?

Obviously this thread is about installing Climatronic to a non-A/C car so is quite an in depth procedure but how much variation in parts is there on a Climatronic vehicle and standard A/C vehicle?
Electronic dash control unit to replace the standard 3 twisty knobs, loom...are the air ducts motorised on Climatronic vehicles seeing as the cable operated knobs aren't there? IIRC theres also a dash mounted climate sensor as well which sits beside the headunit.

Lots, normally the whole set up is different, when I had mine apart to do the matrix I was suprised at the amount of wiring and motors on the heater box.
-
Just found a couple of threads in relation to replacing / retrofitting A/C in a mk3.
