mk5 duetto aircon/turbo/diff conversion

Postby mark35gun » Thu Dec 08, 2016 1:05 pm

hi all, so found all the bits on a spare or repair tourneo
i have started stripping my bits out of the tourneo trying to note where everything goes,
i will post a bit more with some photos, no doubt i will have some questions
on thing i can say is the aircon is not a straightforward swap over, do-able but not easy
by the way does anyone know if the inlet manifold can be removed with the epic pump still in place?
i will try and do a how to guide for the aircon at least, might be of use to someone.
back on the spanners then :mrgreen:
thanks
mark.

turbo now fitted, feels like a different van, pulls loads better than it did, and loads quieter too, which is always a bonus i swapped the injectors from the old one 100ps i think max fuelling screw in 1 3/4 , screw on the top of the pump in two full turns
no smoke at all, smoother and quieter.
aircon fitted and working finally!
i am compiling a how to guide for this and will post when i get a minute
my donor van has a 4.11 diff so am going to fit this too
the aircon is not as difficult as i first thought though :mrgreen:
southern france next year will be a breeze now!
