#1: Removing the Aircon. Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:11 am ---- How is it done?
Can I just take away the compressor and leave the pipes there? r does the lot got to go?
Does it matter if I cut through one of the pipes and leave the other half there?
etc.

The aux belt wont fit if you remove the air con

If your going to do remove the lot other wise there is no point.

There is when I have to find a way to get the intercooler pipes through it.
I may have to negotiate around it somehow as there is no way I can afford a new fan belt and have that fitted etc. as well as the rest of the thing done.

yep aslong as you have it de-gassed by an approved aircon garage its illegal to just let the gas into the atmosphere
thats only the drier and wont affect the compressor/belt at all (apart from the fact the aircon wont work obv )
personally id try another route and keep the aircon i couldnt drive a car without aircon it would do my head in
#11: Re: Removing the Aircon. Author: philb121, Location: WrexhamPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 11:58 am ---- it is possible to fit it without losing the aircon just takes abit more work
