A/c functions
I'm pondering losing my a/c system. I never use it and I have no interest in hunting down a Robinair or whatever and recharging it. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I'm not sure about the climate control module/control buttons - will the heat still work without the a/c system? Might be a fairly obvious question, seeing as how pretty much ALL cars can run heat without the a/c system, but the SVX push-button interface is weird and I intend to use the car through the winter. If anyone can clear this up for me, it would be much appreciated. THanks!

Re: A/c functions
Yes, my blue car has been completely without the whole A/C system (the only thing left is the condenser core) for almost 2 years now, and the heater still works. In "auto mode" or "vent mode", with the temp set to to cool, the fans will come on, to at least blow some air.

Re: A/c functions
Well now there is a way our cars are different. No air in Fla? I lost my A/C in May up here and almost died driving it. Cost me $99.00 to fix it.

Re: A/c functions
The A/C also turns on when defrost is selected to remove moisture from the air which is worth considering in a damp climate like Washington.

Actually, the only thing I really miss about the A/C is when driving the rain. Windows gotta be up, because rain, so no airflow, and no A/C to dehumidify the air on the way through the vents. But, again, that's why I have the 2 cars.

Re: A/c functions
Yeah, I was a little worried about the defrost too...
Thing is, I don't think the system is working properly to begin with so maybe I'll just pull it and hope for the best. The major plus in deleting it is to make space for a tranny cooler. I installed one in my girlfriend's svx, but it was a pain and I NEVER want to have to get it back out. Much easier without the a/c condenser in the way. |
