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 |

I'm with Clay. There is absolutely no reason a 914 can't be equiped with AC in a clean and effective manner. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. If rust is a concern there are steps that can be taken to eliminate that problem. If engine cooling is a concern you can likewise take steps to remedy that too. I think the dealer-installs were hack-ish. There's no reason any of us couldn't improve on the design. Sounds like Clay has done a fine job of this. Be a little creative, think it through, and then do it. I have no patients for "can't do it" mentality. Of course you can do it.
