Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / May 2004EB air con
Hi all I have an EB manual XR6 that was aquired second hand (and mis-treated - but that's another story). My problem is that there is no air-con fitted to the vehicle. So, my question is are there still after market kits available? If so what would be a good price? Would it be easier pulling a system out of a wrecked EB? Any other (reasonable) possibilities? Rhett "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" how much money do you want to spend? rather than buy a second hand heap of sh.t compressor that's about to fail anyway, buy a new one, but by all means get the condenser and evaporator off a wreck and all associated piping and make sure they're pressure tested and don't leak, or come off a still working aircon system. Don't bother taking the filter dryer, they are replaced or should be, everytime the gas is replaced. > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Rhett > "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" >how much money do you want to spend? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >the filter dryer, they are replaced or should be, everytime the gas is >replaced. Good advice, i'd be tempted to replace the evaporator with a new one as well, cost about $70 a few years back. Cost would be (all approx) - New comp - $600 Evap - $70 Filter/Dryer - $45 + a few hundred from a wrecker, mainly for piping, heater box, TX valve (almost worth getting new as they are cheap), condensor, dash facia with A/C switch and if the EB has the old multi drive belt system, you will need the extra jockey wheels and possibly an extra bolt on pulley to the crank. Then you have to fit it, reasonable job and i'd say not much change out of $1K if someone else does it. Many thanks to those who repsonded to my post, your advice was appreciated. As is any advice that saves me money ;-) Rhett "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" > >how much money do you want to spend? > > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Then you have to fit it, reasonable job and i'd say not much change > out of $1K if someone else does it. |
