Your doing a great job there.

Reguarding radiator, you will require one like this

[rouleman]

Back in the game! ...8,5mm longer cooler found.

[rouleman]

Almost finished, only the electrical connections in the engine compartment left for tomorrow...

a/c compressor's bracket.


compressor installed.


the radiator with fan, only the small fan is missing for the moment.


the difference between two radiators, left side the long one 78,5mm (upper base) right side the small 70mm


check valve.

[rouleman]

oooops! again...result of larger radiator...


solution found, for the moment fit a hose from wv golf mk4!!


the mixture antifreeze is ready, 3lt G12 + 4,5lt water, for -24C, With good bleeding leftover 1,5lt


high pressure switch.


low pressure switch behind fuel filter.

u fitting the small fan?.....got both on mine

[rouleman]

the air direction wings? are short, there is one hole to the right to move right plastic wing but this is will effect that the down plastic don't fit, i suppose must be other plastic for that bigger radiator...







also i need a new engine-auxiliary belt, cover, now with compressor installed, and a new longer belt.

[rouleman]

u fitting the small fan?.....got both on mine

Yes i will, i need to find one, from there i found the all parts, he told me that someone took him without asked him, probably he sold it to someone...

[liteace]

Dont know if you have already changed\checked. I changed the belt tensioner pulley on mine because it was noisy, Im sure when I ordered it there was 2 different type's,
60mm for non aircon and a 90mm for aircon

[rouleman]

with the parts he gave me a belt but is too large to fit, almost 1/3 bigger from that one i have now.

with the bigger tensioner pulley, (90mm) i don't see it to fit that belt he gave me, on tusday, i will go to ask if there is another belt for that with a/c

[liteace]

Sorry my mistake, its the idler pulley thats a different size, not the tensioner pulley

also check you belt routing is correct

[rouleman]

From powergrip catalog, i found that there are 2 pulleys, and 2 belt for non a/c and 2 belts for a/c, probably there is one and one belt for 60mm and 90mm pulley

The End.!!!!!!!!

Today the instalation came to end, with the electrical part at the engine compartment, the only thing remains is to be filled it with refrigerant, i test it with low pressure switch shorted wires and the compressor clutch engaged normally,only when engine running...

last pics...
patch wires to the engine side,



a/c wot relay on 11 position fitted, also fuse 10A in 26 position, there was no wires or terminal on those positions


wires to the compressor's clutch


and....
