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? |

Garold,
I too have AC in my 74 and it does a decent job as well. With such a small cabin to cool, I just need to keep it shaded when sitting out all day. I made, and you can buy from others, a cockpit cover that covers just the glass area - it helps a lot. If you do a search either here or over at Pelican I have a complete write-up about my system with a schematic for getting it wired up correctly. THe only real draw-back to the dealer systems is the blower fan. Even on high it just doesn't move a lot of air. Its almost equivalent to speed-2 on your 944. I've been watching for a more modern fan motor replacement but haven't seen one yet. Stay cool! |
