    air con

    Mates we have to have the air con working in our cars to make it a complete superior car. If the air con is not working, then it makes the car uncomplete.

    Well Craig thinks my aircon seemed to work when I bought the zed..But I think it was screwed and it was just the cold winter nights air..

    Got it checked out about 2 years ago..and was told it has holes all through the system..so was expecting to pay $1000+ to repair..So I said "screw that"..and yes I hate being in a stinking hot car..Considering getting it done again..I'm guessing it's a dash removal job?

    no dash out

    shouldnt need the dash out unless its the pipes and evaporator behind the dash that have holes in them. If its the pipes and plumbing in the engine bay, its much much easier....

    Cheers

    Hmm..maybe I should get it checked out again..to find out exactly what has holes in it..so if it's not a dash out removal..is it easy enough to change the pipes in the engine bay:confused:

    mien works but on really hot days (like 34+ degrees) the only way for it to make a noticable difference is to make it recirculate

    I retro fitted mine when I imported it as it had to be degassed and dryer removed as part of import regulations. It went just as good as any other until I pulled out the entire system when I redid my engine bay a couple of months ago. Just hope when I gas it up again with a new dryer it works like it used to :zlove:

    The guy where we got it quoted did reckon it had holes throughout the whole system and required a complete dash removal...thats why it was going to cost so much because of the time required to remove the dash. But I reckon a second opinion would be good.

    At least you've got your heater for winter now, halfway there :p

    Cheers!
