Climate control swapping

[nikosse]

Hello all

I own a 1991 S2 Coupé, with this type of climate control :




And I would like to swap to this kind of climate control :




Is it just about wiring and soldering, or do I have to change the climate box and other things too ?

I've looked at these two threads :

But I'm not sure they are about exactly the same swap.


Thanks in advance !

The wiring and control systems are completely different - different looms as well. Check out the wiring schematics at www.s2central.net and compare the MY92 and MY94 aircon systems.

RE: Changing over Climate Controls....

Didn't somebody post a way not long ago here that he had accomplished this type of mod? It was pretty extensive and time consuming if I remember correctly. It would be better just to go over to manual. The Delco based CC is not bad if the vacuum system and system sensors are watched over.

I did. Have it all working great now. Much better control options with this than the old. It also updates the look of your center console a lot.

Thanks for your answers !

ShadowofBob > you had to change the climate box, am I right ?

Yes he did. You need the central part of the climate system, i.e. the part straight behind the controls that has the adjustment flaps worked by electric motors.

For a LHD car you have more choice to source one as an appropriate one was fitted to S2/80/90s as well as A4s. For RHD cars you need one from and early A4.
