#1: Gti aircon question. Author: rick-gti, Location: welshpool, mid walesPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:31 am ---- Before I fit my 138 gti engine, I want to run it with no aircon. I plan to remove everything bar the pump. Will the climate control work ok if I do this? My gti at the moment has no gas so it doesnt work anyway. And its £70 to get it re-gassed by me.

I took all the wiring out of mine too.

#9: Re: Gti aircon question. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 1:49 pm ---- Yes it works the same as before. Only difference is switching the A/C on makes it no cooler.
#10: Re: Gti aircon question. Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 1:55 pm ---- Does yours still default to a/c when you start the engine? I dont know why but with no belt mine wouldn't work at all.
