A/C System

[Imatk]

I'm looking for all of the parts for an A/C system for an '87 Scirocco.

If anyone has them please let me know.

Thanks!

Very rare set up in the UK so you may have trouble finding one, we had to live with opening the window.

Yeah with Texas' 104 degree heat it's getting a bit... hot :)

I only know of one car in the UK with a factory fit AC.
However this car was originally new to Hong Kong.
GTExtra (Sean) had a after market set up on his 16V I seem to remember it was not very successful

i would look at cannibalizing a scrap mk3 golf for the compressor, condenser, expansion valve, receiver and related pipework as it will fit to the standard engine.
then its a case of mounting an evaporator inside the car and somehow ducting the cabin air through it maybe using a separate fan system.
obviously gassing it will require a pro to make sure theres no leaks.
its doable but will take some time and working out.

Thanks for the info James!

I had a German market 16v with factory fit A/C
The fan switch had a fourth setting for A/C which turned the cooling fan on as the engine works much harder. It also had a large relay on the fuse board to handle the electrical power.
Looking at your comment you're across the pond, there must be some parts over there otherwise maybe EU.

If your across the pond post on the VW Vortex. Should have more luck there.
