adee-ep Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 wasnt really sure where to put the topic so just put it in here. anyone no the wieght of the a/c and all the gubbings? worth removing? cheers aidan Quote
Kennedy Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Alot of people remove it as it does weigh quite a bit i believe (i'm not sure on the exact weight though). also it saps some of the power from the engine.If you can live with out it..get rid.Just put your windows down ;) haha Quote
Craig_N Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I dont know how true this is but i belive its around 24kg (Someone please correct me if i am wrong)I do know a couple of people who have removed it and say it was worth itCraig Quote
ste91 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 25kg as far as I know.On comparison that's the same as a bag of cement. Quote
adee-ep Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 wow thats heavy. out it comes then haha never had a/c before so i dont need it now especially in scotland Quote
bucketep91 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 i think it might be a bit heavier than that. rip it out mate. you dont need it. youve got windows lol plus it leaves more space for a big front mounted intercooler and allows you to relocate your air filter to the front! if you do rip it out mate remember you need a shorter belt!

adee-ep Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 a shorter belt for what mate? yeh ill be taking it out Quote
bucketep91 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 a shorter belt for what mate? yeh ill be taking it outthe 1 thats connected to the aircon pump you can leave the aircon pump on and rip the rest out if its just for space but most of the wieght is in the aircon pump Quote
adee-ep Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 yeh il be ripping everything out mate no need for it to be there Quote
Sparky Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Weights about 32kg all in I believe so a good difference!!And you will need a different PAS belt Quote
Steve GT Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 yeh including all pipes its 30kg plus its fookin heavy and really worth removing lolplus what hasnt been mentioned is without it you can get to your oil filter piece of cake which was a bitch with the a/c on Quote
