Henny 0 Posted July 2, 2009 I'm putting off going home in my 'ssat 'cos the fan packed in about 6 months ago and I've not bothered to change it yet... annoyingly, it's got air-con, but it won't do anything 'cos of the fan being dead... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted July 2, 2009 DITTO indeed!!!! even windows half down & sunroof open all afternoon didnt help when i got in it......specially when i burnt my arm on my ali gear knob lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Yup, me too! There's a bit of a breeze today which has helped, but full leather makes for a slightly sweaty back! I would say its worth it to be out in the C in the sunshine but A/C would be nice :lol: Can you imagine having a Corrado without A/C in somewhere actually hot?? Like some parts of America or somewhere similar? Actually, just any car without A/C would be a literal pain in the arse!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 2, 2009 i have aircon in mine but have never used it and it doesn't have much effect when on. its been last on my list of things to do since i got the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted July 2, 2009 Sat in traffic in 30deg+ is not fun! How much is retrofit aircon? In the accessories brochure it's £1600 + vat fitted via Diavia That was 1993 though so not sure they'll still do it for that price :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 5 Posted July 2, 2009 Dark green,full leather,sunroof and windows half open,parked in the shade ALL day that hot when i got in it, you could boil water in a paper bag ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadMeatPies 0 Posted July 2, 2009 I thought i might die in the traffic on the way home today. I think buying a nice 24v with the aircon attached is probably the best way of dealing with this heat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTWG60 0 Posted July 2, 2009 All you leather boys, haha, I remember my dads vinyl seats in our old mk1 cortina. It was like a torture getting in that car in the 70's hot summers. And in the winter they were freezing. brrr! Leather seats! A bit like conservatories! Bloody useless! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fullpint 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Bloody HOT............. :nuts: Thought about sell it this week and getting the first car i see with air-con :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted July 2, 2009 drove to work once this week in the rado, going at 9 was fine, coming home at 5.30 was grim, this evening got the gas recharged in the mk4, had icicles hanging from my nose by the time I got home, that's more like it 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Its the way that you unlock the car, open the doors, windows and sunroof - foolishly thinking this may cool it down !!!!! :lol: Then gingerly getting in, being wary of burning yourself - on the leather seats, as you have done it so many times, you know it dam hurts. Its not as if the even then you can drive, the steering wheel is so dammed hot, it too scorches you. II have some old screen covers that i used to use on my Motorhome, to keep it either cool or warm on the inside. They are silver foil type covers with a kind of thermal inner. Think I best locate them to make life a little cooler !! Fortunately storing the car in the garage at least means its bearable 1st thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
