Make sure you check the Bentley where it shows a modification to use the sd 709 instead of a 510,or you will be hot,bothered and broke.Ron is rubbing his hands and licking his chops over this. If you got a 709, you will have to adapt, or change the rear backing head,and/or hoses to use the 510. This is a swap of heads.It is not a simple exchange of compressors I have never worked on a post 85 vanagon a/c , so I cant say for sure.As for the condensor, dont know either.I think you can stick your fingers in the radiater and grill area and feel for 2 sections.What you really need (and me) is a duel condenser.Will the person who has done this and posted it (cant find it) step forward and tell us where we can find the details on this miricle of vanagon a/c.Thanks |
