Air conditioning

So I got a 03 jimny and would like to install an air condition into it. I'm going over to see an a/c kit tomorrow, what are the thing I need.

Compressor
Pipes
Radiator + fans
Under dash unit
Wiring??

Am I missing anything?

How hard is the installation??

Thanks

Has anyone done this installation??

I thought about it but then found a little button on my right hand side witch I find works ok

Funny you should say that.
I took two of my grandchildren out for the day on Friday, after a visit to 'Caen Locks' we got back to the Jimny started driving & I was asked 'can we have the A/C on please'.

I opened both windows with a slight of hand, we all fell about laughing, well not literally, love the things kids say sometimes ...........

Just get a soft top and you will get all the fresh air you need and a nice SUNBURNT head if you got no hair like me

i bought full original suzuki aircon kit off ebay about 2 years ago and it has been the best mod i have ever done i never have a problem with misted up windows and its excellent in the hot weather it took me just a couple of afternoons to install and was a very easy job to do with the instruction manual that came with my kit i could not go wrong.

On my none air con jimny there is a small cover panel on the heater control paneling that has a multi plug cliped to the rear mine is a 2000reg dont know if it the same i should think all the wiring should be there may have to plug relays and fues i etc to power the system up

kevant, do you still have the instruction manual that came with the kit? If so I'm wondering if scanning and uploading it somewhere might help those of us interested in adding A/C (I'm pondering it myself!) as I'm guessing it would mention (directly or indirectly) all of the bits that are needed.

Happy to help with scanning (and posting back to the owner) if anyone does have the instructions knocking around...

Are you planning on getting a engineer to come and pressure test and evacuate the system before recharging with refrigerant?

i have the instruction manual somewhere and if im not mistaken i already scanned it but im on my hols at the mo and i will look for it for you when i get home but i can assure you we wont be able to publish it on here copyrights etc. martin has already said something about workshop manuals but i will pm you when i get home and i could send the manual to you.

Gah yes, had forgot about copyright and all that jazz...

Would certainly be interested in a PM with some info about the scans if you have them, thanks.

Enjoy the rest of your your hols!

My motor came with it and it is excellent but I don't think I'd fit it if it didn't have it. A sunroof would be a nice alternative though.
