Will this climatronic unit just plug into my car?
« on: 21 July 2013, 20:22 »


Ive seen these in mk3's highlines but do they just plug in and replace the 3 knobs in any mk3 with air con? Don't want a repeat of my last purchase a fischer cd holder that doesn't fit properly?

Most definitely not a simple 5minute unit swap,  i've looked into this myself and it's a pretty major job.

Theoretically it will,  just not without the rest of the components.

It will fit but to get it working everything will need changing, major work.

Stating the obvious again wayne! :rolleyes:


Personally I prefer the manual ac.
Have climatronic in the Passat and its ok but you feel divorced from it and not in control.
