AC Retrofit

Post by Cesaree_VWR »

Yes, I am the lucky owner of a 2013 Blue GT that has a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, sat-nav but no ac. So I thought I start this topic to carry you on with me through this journey I am willing to follow. Also any help is well respected :). I would first need a VIN number of a Blue GT Polo that has at least AC from factory. Thanks in advance! Would help me for further researching parts. ETKA or PETKA doesn't quite do the trick for just anything...

@giannis Thanks for reply but I don't think you get it just right. The car doesn't have climatic, climatronic or anything at all. It just has the recirculation button. No compressor, no plumbing, no belt, no expansion valve, no nothing :)

OK my friend, sorry, you are right. I didn't understand it correctly. I can't help you with that. Good luck with this project. Is going to be big.

Well, first of all. The ECU does accept coding for AC, already checked for that, Secondly,it all sounds pretty simple but just try and take a look on all the part variants on ETKA and try figuring out which is the right one for your car, it's a nightmare. That's why I try finding a VIN number for a BlueGT with AC.
