Title: air con/climate control
Post by STUTET74 on Jun 18^th, 2007, 9:30am

My 2.3 Ghia X has got standard air con, is it easy/possible to change to the digital climate control?

Think you would have to change the control panel and the module behind it and possibly the HBC in the evaporator but others may know better ???

Unfortunately [] - it's not just the controls that need doing. If I'm right (and I've never seen one without digital control), the knobs on the front operate the air distibution box via cables. On the ones with CC, these are moved by stepper motors and there are temperature sensors in the footwell outlets. Basically you'd have to change the entire distribution box, plus drill a hole in the dash for the sunlight sensor, on top of changing the obvious bits you can already see.

You could do it but it would involve taking out and swapping the distribution unit from under the dashboard, everything would need to be changed but it's not impossible....Expense? who knows???
