Air Con Gurus

Post by HRZOOK »

Let me start by saying I know absolutely nothing about air con especially in cars

I have a vitara front cut on its way to me :D Apparently it has everything including air con

Question. Can I install the air con easily into my Sierra even though it has never had air con?

Thanks
HR

Does your sierra have vents and a blower fan assembly ?

The biggest thing would be getting the evaporator to fit, you would probably be better off fitting the condensor, receiver dryer, and pump from the front cut and buying the right evaporator for your car so it fits into the dash - you should get all the lines remade and put all new orings in it and heaps of oil.

This is just my off the top of my head thoughts - I really only have a basic knowledge of air con

if your serious about fitting AC, i would recomend getting the right kit to suit, that way there is no stuffing around with tryin to match compressor lines to compressor housings, as there may be a difference depending on year model and compressor model of both engines,
either way you go, you are going to need a new Reciever/drier, a good vacume on the system, and an oil change on the comp if you you really want to, id recomend it, that way, you know you have the correct amount,
