richievr 1 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 you can fit it but it is a BIG job ..the bulkhead is different between the back of the dash and the engine bay somehow.. i'm trying to find out exactly how as i am in the same boat as you!!......you would also need to take the dash out as the heater box underneath is different too Link to post Share on other sites

Focker-out 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Waste of time mate unless you have a small fortune invested in your car, not to mention the differences in the wiring and all the individual parts you will need Link to post Share on other sites
Kaz 0 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 It's not that much of a pain, but you need to have a good understanding of wiring! I'm fitting it, but have come to a stop as the breakers providing me with the parts are lacking some of the pipes, so I'm trying to source them elsewhere. I have the airbox fitted behind the dash, the pump is on the engine and I have 2 pipes in - so I just need a rad (which I've decided to get brand new) and the other pipes. Then it's on to the wiring, which I'm not worried about as the other half builds wiring looms!I have photo's of all the stages so far, but i probably won't get round to finishing until the spring now, as well there's no point!The only modification to the bulk head is cutting an rectangular hole for the a/c pipes from the aitrbox to come through.I'll be making a full guide about this.

Kaz 0 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thought I'd add a few pics.A/C airboxNon A/C airboxBeam had to come out to fit the A/C box, quite a size difference!A/C pump fitted, I'm going to replace the oil cooler soon so the front of the car will be apart a bit, so I'll snap a couple of pics of the pump and lines fitted in place.I haven't snapped a pic of the bulkhead modification yet, I'll do that this week.

Kaz 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Mine had an A/C ECU already fitted, I can log into the unit via VAG-COM. Link to post Share on other sites
