Honda City Turbo 1/2 + Air Conditioning = WHAT A JOKE

That aircon is more trouble than its worth.

Let me refrase your question Crash........."Who here hasnt removed their aircon"

[Tony]

Went but wasn't really neccessary, besides it weighs to much and sucks power, so it went, straight in the rubbish.  If I get hot I'll just put the roof down....

Oh yeah and the hole where the compressor was makes a perfect place for a decent air intake

[Turbo3]

Yeah,
It was sooo good to remove mine too!! ;D
Looking at doing the intake from there on my "std" T2. Also was looking at front mounting the two intercoolers I had, but it's a bit tight. May just throw one of them up front. Hey it's got to work better than it's std position eh! Did have the aircon working on my white one for a while. It went OK, but you noticed the loss of power. Binned it when it ran out of fluid.

Mine worked...then ran out of gass...haven't filled it since.
But always useful when frosty cold to keep the fog away from windscreen.

And the other thing is in NZ, given it's age Citys will probably be using R12 hole in ozone, nasty sunburn gas and while you can still get them refilled most places push for getting the system modified to run R134a gas so just another unneccesary expense...

;D

No air-con man mine's been removed too.
To much room taken up by the  dam thing .

Oh well thereis a big fat Pod-Filter in its place now
hehe and a cold air feed. ;D

I've never seen a city with working air conditioning. My first one had had it removed, my second one didn't work so I removed it and my third one didn't either so I've removed it. By the way, if you want to reduce weight, the ac compressor weighs about 12 kgs. Including the bracket and radiator thingys it weighed more than 20 kgs.

Mine still has working airconditioner and its staying there. Guess I'm just an old fart that would rather be cool than fast!! Henry
