GQ Petrol / Diesel AIR CONDITIONING

Post by Screwy »

Just curious....

The a/c for a GQ SWB 88 model.
i dont have it.....

but im after the a/c system.

Ive found a diesel with a complete a/c system...

wat i want to know is, is all the internal wiring loom, evaporator, a/c fan and switches etc ( all internals ) the same in the TB42 as in the Diesel ( TD42 ) ????

also the engine bay stuff.... is any of it the same? like the piping and condensor or the compressor?
i know the brackets would be differents.....

cheers

Looks like the main componantry is in the same place, but all the brackets are different on the engine itself.

I am not sure on wiring, but could not be much different.

Post by Dodgy Bros »

Juist had the AC pump start squeeling at me when i'm over about 1500rpms, since i'm moving to Sydney next week will it last the trip down?
Had mate tell me his screamed for ages before it gave up,

How much is the diesel compressor worth from a wrecker anyway? Mine made a horrible squealing noise a couple of days ago so i switched it off and pulled over. On inspection there was smoke coming out of the compressor and smelt like burning clutch. Doh!! 2 days of driving with the windows down I had the best truckies sunburn on my right arm! :D Sorry can't answer any of your questions.

Mine is a petrol air conditioner compressor.

In a TD42

The TD42 and the petrol have individual brackets to suit.

The compressor is a straight bolt on either bracket.

I simply cut the compressor cut in wire to suit my existing loom (2.8 had air con but had a different compressor/mounting system as the 4.2 did)

I bought my compressor from one of the guys on the fs section for 130 bux to give you some idea of what they are worth.

I did an online search on compressor prices and they vary between 200 to 350 each.

Condensor and hoses should be very similar and are nearly a straight bolt up.

Hope that helps

TOM

I put a TD42 into a vehicle that was a TB42 originally. I left the aircon there, with just a twist of the hose coming into the compressor needed to make it fit around the alternator which was now near it. From what i saw, everything between the petrol and diesel air con set up seemed to be the same. i can't garuntee it, but the hoses and stuff seem to be in the same spots. The connectors to the system under the dash seems to be the same too.
