The purpose of this thread is not to debate whether or not the original AC is required in these cars, this has been covered many times and we will all never agree! I know most say these are useless, inefficient systems. I am just wondering which system is better between the optional systems, the VPC or the DPD? If you have any thoughts could you please state why you feel one is better than the other based on any experience you have had. Also, was one system more likely to be fitted to early cars and the other to later cars?

Thanks for the response Cap'n. Can I infer from your statement that most DPD units were installed AFTER you left in mid '74? Do you have thoughts on one system being superior to the other?

Do you have thoughts on one system being superior to the other? No, we'd been selling cars ONLY with VPC for a year or so. Even the Audis had VPC, as the others proved too flimsy and troublesome for the installers. I don't recall what they put in the 911s, as only 2 guys in the shop did all the 911 work, and I wasn't one of them .............. The Cap'n. |
