How many here have working AC in their 914? What's your pro's & con's with it? I am somewhat trying to sell my 88 944, I waffle everytime I drive it if I really should or not.
Anyway, if I do sell it then I want to replace it with another car. Something with better gas mileage than my Dodge Ram truck (19 mpg on a good day). Been thinking of another 914 as my around town driver & sunny day car and keep my other 914 as my dedicated AX car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thing is I'm getting older, it gets hot & muggy here in the summer, and well dang it I like having AC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I know there is another thread here on which system is better and I guess this thread goes somewhat along with that one. My other concern is even finding a solid 914 with working AC, I guess they are out there. OK, I'm rambling now........ Your thoughts? |

As far as I can recall -- the AC system installed in 914s was sort of hack and slash. Most times they cut a section out of the rear trunk and riveted or glued in a awkward sheet to cover the damage. Cut a huge hole in the front trunk for the condenser.
The best after-market setup I've seen doesn't chop the rear trunk up, nor the front trunk up. Evaporator core was in the 'mixing chamber' in the dash and the condenser was very wide and thin, run across the bottom of the car. R12 system that blew so cold your nipples would freeze. |
