akacheesy 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Not sure if I should post this here or not??!! I'm wondering if anyone has retro-fitted aircon? If so, any tips or suggestions? Would a garage do it for me? How much would it cost? Would ya bother? etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie_FSOB 0 Posted May 17, 2004 I did look into this once, and was given a quote of 'About a grand', but that was only a couple of places near me, so you should be able to get it cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted May 18, 2004 I'm not sure where to even start looking, can ya point me in the right direction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 18, 2004 No, but I can sell you a VR6 air con pump and some hoses to get you started? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted May 18, 2004 thanks for the offer but I'm not sure I'd wanna tackle it myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 18, 2004 just sell your car and buy one with air con. it'll work out cheaper. better than having some nasty aftermarket kit fitted too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted May 18, 2004 Aye, thats what my mate said but you know how you get attached to your car....Mebbe I'll just live without it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 18, 2004 I've never felt the need for it. just open the window and drive faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted May 18, 2004 Good point, there's also the fact that it leaches power & ever increasing fuel costs would go up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 18, 2004 stick in a moonroof (so that it'll keep working! ;) ) and just open the windows... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
