Why do I bother????  Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123  |
Ok, the new car has air. It looks like all that is missing is the compressor. I think these had VPD and DPD A/C units. How do I figure out what compressor I need? Can I convert this to 134a?
Basically every question you would expect! Thanks, Matt |

It's more work then you think. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
You will need to do the following - Buy a new compressor - Buy a new drier - Check the hoses to see if they have been updated (Doubt it so get new hoses) - Fush the entire system - Add new oil - Pull a vac (hope for no leaks) on the system and then charge. I have A/C in my 914 and it does take the edge off on the 95+ days on the way home. With a new compressor the HP loss is minimal. If your going to AX it I would pass on A/C. Install WOT switch and quick access on/off switch for the times when you need to kill the compressor to get the 5hp back. Cheers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
