Hi guys, I'm about to embark on an unthinkable task, fitting aircon to my 91 Tipo 1.4, so if anyone has any helpful ideas, I'd be pleased to hear them.
I have (hopefully) all the bits taken from a scrap Tipo, including wiring and relays, which I'm currently trying to lay out in order, separating them from other wires and relays.
The central console control box has a few non working/broken parts, but nothing apparently serious.
My first thought is it would be a good idea to have the parts tested, particularly the compressor, but how, I’m not sure.
I will post updates as things progress, but it’s going to be a long haul, I've had the car since 1999, but it would be nice to be able to use the car in summer, here in sunny Spain.[FONT=&quot]

good luck on the BIG task..,

get a good selection of manuals together, so you'll be armed with resistance values, better wiring diagrams etc,

Many thanks, Charlie (my middle name), I know it's a big task, I stripped the other Tipo myself.
Regarding manuals, as it's a Tipo to Tipo retrofit, do you really think that's necessary?
