I think its James Renshaw on the Yahoo group, thats the only pic ive seen but apparently his car already had air con installed which made it easier.

Aparently, from what ive read, the climatronic can be installaed to just control the normal heaters, and can therefore work without the need for AC?..

is the dash-mounted climatronic all that is required for this? i asked about this when i worked at the stealer and i always got "its more trouble than its worth" or "its a sports car.. what do you need climatronic for...open the window!" ....but i still want to do it, i guess i'm a bit spoiled after driving those new audis around all day.. :lol:

just read.. "original Compressor, Condensor and Drier in the

engine bay, but everything inside the car is completely replaced with

the Passat stuff. This includes, the air intake, the fan, the heater

matrix, the controls (digital panel) and all the wiring and sensors.

This is a whole lot of effort to get to fit and wire in but well

worth it. It requires new bracketry a whole lot of splicing into the

loom and obviously the mounting of the control panel in the dash."

 

i'm going to go get more coffee and forget i ever read any of this.. i already have to take the dash out to do the heater core... and i DO NOT need another feckin project right now!! :lol:

 

curse you steve b, i know i'm gonna be watchin ebay for this shite now!! 8)
