Anyone know where I can find instructions on how to fit aircon to a UK MY98? I' got all the bits to fit, but looking for some instructions,


Cheers,

Andy

Look for a thread yesterday started by Dunk and replied to by STi wanna Subaru titled 'air con fitting instructions', STi will e-mail you the instructions.

The thread was http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=224832

Let me know how you get on as I am going to fit aircon when i can pick up a second hand kit.

Where did you get yours? New or S/Hand??

Ian,

aircon "kit" is available from Grade A Subaru breakers. Kit is a mix of used parts that "should" be all required for fitting to MY97>. Kit costs around 450quid.
I say "kit" because there are no instructions, and "should" because I've yet to track down the instructions in order to see if I've got all the bits!

Alternatively, I know someone who is fitting a front mount intercooler soon, so will loose the aircon. He might be tempted to sell you his parts for around 350quid.

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks Andy

Would be interested in your mates aircon, especially if I can sample it working prior to removal. What year/model Scooby is it in?

Ian,

it's a MY98 - so the dash controls may be different from a MY97, but the engine bay layout should be the same. Only thing I'd have to check out would be the heater/cooler - matrix assembly.

I don't think he's decided 100% on what intercooler layout to go for, but chatting last night he was thinking about rotating the manifold, in which case he would loose the aircon pump because the alternator needs to be relocated.

The best I can do is suggest that he flogs his aircon and give him your contact details.

Cheers,

Andy

Ian,

I've e-mailed details and will "hassle" him this weekend. Can't say fairer than that.

Got fitting instructions off Guy - will check it all out this weekend.

Cheers

Andy
