Aircon or climate control? My climate control came out of a Passat, it's a pretty complex install but all the bits fitted OK.

Well for starters it's a dash out job due to the size of the heat exchanger, the fuse box has to be pulled out to get a load of extra wiring in, one of the heater ducts had to have an extra actuated flap fitted in it and a sunlight sensor plus interior temp sensor had to be grafted into the dash. The control panel sort of fitted where the original heater controls came out although it had to be modded a bit. The heat exchanger/fan box is huge compared with the original so the glove box is now only half the depth it was before and I've only got about 20mm of the lower shelf left on the passenger side.

 

Under the bonnet there's about five extra wires had to go into the fan controller, an extra temp sensor in one of the coolant lines, a different sensor in the thermostat housing (four pin item replaces an original two pin one), extra outside air temp sensor and wiring to the compressor clutch. Then there's a vacuum tank to squeeze in, the condensor to fit (nightmare) and the drier canister to get in plus all the pipework (vacuum and refrigerant) to route.

 

Power it up, plug in vagcom and pray you can clear all the fault codes, get it gassed up and you're done 8)

 

As I said, a little complex!
