Changing air con to climate ?
« on: 06 March 2013, 18:17 »
How easy is it to change from air con to climate control ? I have bought a mk4 Turbo to sell on but to be honest it runs perfect and thinking of keeping it. I guess loom will have to be changed in some way, what else ? :undecided:

Someone enquired about this a few years back..

In a nutshell, would cost a ridiculous amount as you'd have to change all the motors any everything. General consensus is to buy one with it, or just make do :wink:

Nearly everything needs changing, not really worth it tbh

I saw a guy on vortex do it, he changed the whole heater box under the dash, plus had to put a bit of loom in. you also have to drain and have the a/c system refilled.

cant find the project though sorry  :sad:
