KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 hey just wondering how hard it is to install aircon into a ke36 and what the best option to take would be? As Far as I know they were never factory fitted, dealers would fit at pre delivery as required the evaporator unit bolts onto your heater unit, a few ducts need to be added, probably easiest for you to find a unit remove it yourself so you know how it fits. then simply book in for a service and regass. 2nd option is a under-dash unit as in my Ke55 Quote
philbey Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 If you have space I'd go with an underdash unit. Plenty of wreckers have the front end gear, like the compressor, condensor and the hose gear, brackets etc. If you hunt around you should be able to find a cool looking retro underdash unit with chrome knobs etc. Quote

I have seen this at Pick and Payless one of the times that I was there. It may be a bit more hunting, but it would look a lot more integrated. Cheers, Ian Quote
