Not that i would even consider A/C on my '72, but I'd like to hear from those who have it (any year) as to whether it works!
When we went to the 78 Aspen Parade, we did it in a 924 (914 was in the process of body restoration - that's right, six years old & it needed resto!). Travelling through Kansas, we noted that the condensor of the 924 was loaded up with ice. Turned the compressor off, to drain the condenser. It was 106 degress. Humidity about 85% (lived there for 2 years, so I know what it feels like). Took nearly any hour to clear the frost, in the meantime we suffered immesnsely. When the frost melted, we turned the system back on. Worked great for 30 minutes, until it iced up again. Never turned the a/c on again. So, and I'm just curious, how has a/c worked for those who have it on a 914, assuming it is original/dealer installed. Pat |
