Right folks,

 

I've started a new journal to break down the stages of doing an air-con conversion

from the series 4 manual type to the series 2 digital type.

 

As only mods and the journal author can add comments can anyone who has any

thoughts on the subject put them in here so i can make life alot easier for myself

if you happen to spot or know something i don't.

 

The journal thread is here :

Very interested in seeing this. I did ask someone if it was going to be possible but had no reply. So now it looks as if we're going to find out :) Good luck. :D

i helped him strip it from my breaker and he is a brave man atempting this lol

I'll second that - I don't think that I'd try it :hammer:

yeah, i looked at it by comparing my series 2 and series 4 and decided not to

looking at your thread i think you will need a lot more stuff to do it properly

 

when i looked at doing it i rekoned you need to replace the ducting everywhere it has a sensor (theres at least 2 under the trim under the steering wheel) windscreen vent as one has a sensor fitted. and quite a lot of the main air deflecting box with the motors to control the flaps

 

good luck though, it will be interesting to see how it goes

 

 

anyway , if your sucesful can i buy the manual pod as its in better condition than mine by the look of it

yeah he got all the sensor ducting from my car so has all that

Thanks del,

 

Yes i have all the extra bits with sensors from dels breaker too !:cool3:

Amazing work in you journal thread.

Documented well with detailed pictures - a pleasure to of read through it.

Further luck with the conversion from 99 spec pod to the older digital type :whistling:

Cheers,

 

Still lots to do, I had both looms spread out on my living room carpet today to compare

and I might need to do some modifications on the older one.

 

On my loom there seems to be 3 extra relays and the ignitions plugs have changed too.

 

I'm hoping that the extra relays are related to air on only!

 

I'll try to post some pics up later.

i think you are doing a great job. but i couldnt be bothered doing all that to replace it with something that does the same job :lol:

Flippin 'eck Lee - that's one hell of a job mate!

 

Well done for taking it on, I reckon having seen what you have had to do, I'd bottle it and stick with the manual system....:scared:

I know !

 

And its finally all paid off with the last missing part fitted tonight i powered her up and away she blew !!

 

Not very cold as she's been degassed but that shouldnt be too hard to fix.:helpsmilie:

Great work mate :thumbup1:

Amazing work and I myself was wondering if this was possible.

 

Great write up!

far as write ups go i'll revise it abit now i know exactly what to do.

 

hopefully with approval and cleanup we can move it to the how too section.

well done lee you where a brave man to take on what you have done,glad all your hard work has paid off.

You dont need approval Lee, youve done a zed first and deserves its place in the How To section.

 

Well done mate

Thanks groover,

 

there's a few additional bits I'll add to the thread first then we can move it over !!

fantastic work mate, you are however a mentalist!

Well in, Lee.

 

I thought you were crazy when you removed your dash a few days before JAE last year and then i knew your were mental when you started this. Well done on completing it.

Yes move it to the How-To section, sure there will be many giving this a go :wacko: :surrender: :sweatdrop:

 

Well done to you :bow: now sell me your manual pod :biggrin:

Everything aircon is working fine now, however I've now no central locking !

 

But it's likely something simple like a blown fuse !
