General 'Air Con'..!

[lightweightmick]

Yay, after last Sunday's complete removal and overhaul of heater box... (with Alan D's guide ) I now got Air con
...well as good as lol - I can now turn heater off and have cold blown air - sheer luxury!
and as I had to remove wiper assembly I abandoned my copper sleeve solution and drilled it for a self-tapper - looks very secure now though I need to find a smaller screw lol

ahhh you had me all excited there with that title...

well done getting it fixed, i have found that talon is also blowing hot air, but i think it is because i have adjusted it wrong.. soon fix it by moving the wire the arm on the tap is connected to.

dont worry when i get all the proper re-gassing kit ill be making my own aircon for a panda!

need to find an electric pump.. thats all.

Nice one - that would be cool lol
I'll be happy not to have the earache from driving with the windows wound down all the time... watch it fail MOT now... due end of month

Ooooh do let me know, I'd love aircon, impossible to source one from a later Panda in Japan, as you say electric pump is probably best... I was wondering if a Punto with a/c could have its part nicked and fitted in some sort of home-fab fashion

i looked into using the pump from off the 1.2, yeah its doable but not worth it. i'd rather have an electric one.

ive not yet played with where i would stick the evaporator coil, but i think i would play around with the panda air box a bit, i would stick it after the heater matrix so i could use it as an epic de-mister. yeah the heater would heat up the aircon element but that would be the idea.

plenty of space to stick one in i think

i have a few cabin airboxes now.. i may have a play with one see how it goes..
