hi all
i have for sale a rare factory air cond set up for a bay window kombi
i think it is mostly complete - the compressor but you are far better off retro fitting a compressor off a late model car anyway as they are more efficient.
i was going to use this in my subi bus but have decided to try and fit a toyota a/c i got from work.
so its up for sale:thumb

Meyers Manx AustraliaI dont know what its worth either but I'd like to buy it. It was 41deg here in Townsville on Sunday and the humidity makes it even more unbearable. I say that I would need it more that most and my wife would agree - I sold our aircond japper to buy a kombi!
I guess you know what it owes you and therefore would have an idea of what would be reasonably fair.
I'm in for a fair price. Your call.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
$220 and that would realy make summer enjoyable for my poor little 4 month old girl who finds it soooo hot travelling round in the back of the kombi. trying for the sympathy bid.
are they easy to fit and do they suck alot of power from the motor

Making something to "work" that doesn't look as good,but remains fairly well hidden isn't as hard as you might think....Will be making a custom type of unit for my buggy in a couple of months when i get rid of a debt so I'll give you a bell when i start..:P Might get 2 cars done?????

hey peoples
these arnt hard to fit but like bob has said it is necessary to get a new compressor which costs around $700 the VW mechanic has done a few of these into bus's and if u supply the air con unit he said its around $2200 the fit (including new compressor,condensors,fans etc) the biggest problem with fitting these is finding the pulley that goes behind the fan on type 4 motors most people wouldnt even know these existed and thats the problem!! if anyone is really keen on getting it done U2U me for the number of the VW guy that does these!
but considering the rarity of these units i would expect this one to go for around $750 or so!!
cheers
rhys
it aint just cool its aircool'd
a compressor is only around the $250 mark.The units arn't that hard to instal,the biggest drama being (IMHO) the fitting of the compressor/drive.I made a drive for mine from the front of the fan as the rear pulley belts on the "factory" ones are too thin and break regularly,and are a pig to change.Having a Subaru motor instead now sloved that problem:bounce I'll hunt some pictures down and post them of my 2.3 type four with the aicon. compressor.

Id put it on ebay (even for a 3 day auction) and let the guys have a realy auction. I think that way you would get an honest result.
Best of luck and I hope that you get what you want for it.
mick u would be surprised the orignal way is the best i reacon in the way how shit isnt everywhere in the engine bay
u sent me pics of ur setup but have lost them somewhere anyway im goin suby aswell strangely enough :P:P:P
cheers

I've recently bought two bay unit airconditioners, as seen in the picture at the top of the post. I paid considerably less for both than what is being suggested in this post, for the main reason that there is still a lot of work to do to install these units, have them working properly and arrange the plumbing and wiring in such a way so as to not detract from the originality of your bus.
I expect to pay the same again just to have the units checked and working correctly (sparky, aircon specialist, motor trimmer), and then some hours measuring and fitting. Then there is the compressor and I'll revise the under tray cooling tinware for better fit and practicality.
Also, it is advisable for tropic dwellers to fit an external oil cooler if you haven't already got one. Aircon saps a little power from even the best tuned Kombi motor, and will therefore effect performance and cooling.
Although these units are rare, mind your initial purchase price so that you don't over capitilise on something you might not be able to use.
I did put a bid on these units because I still believe that they fit the best for the Kombis (air cooled) and I have another Bay to fit-out, so best of luck to the eventual buyer.
when i next get a T2, it would have to have a cold wind machine fitted or included in a box
and i'd expect to pay for that overall
as all the factory accessories and hard to find bits would make it obviously more valuable and individual..
hard to find bits that are from the factory that are not made anymore = what someone is willing to pay for em..
so considering how hot it has been lately and forecasted that figure seems to be fair to me without a problem..
if there were an abundance of these units lying around the price would reflect their worth..
gotta love the free market..
go for it bob..

IMHO they're damn ugly and take up valuable headroom...
It mounts behind the front seats, so doesnt take up any headroom at all

don't mean to hijack but I have one of these units but have put off fitting it as mounting the compressor has me confused. if any one has any info could you please send to

Sorry, meant the actually roof unit that the post is about... they're rare and desireable but I had one and they look tacky and they hang about 6 inches off the roof so you have to duck under it when you walk through. I suppose it would be ok for round town but it's annoying for camping.
I just recently purcased one of these units, and am about to fit. I have a relative who has a '78 micrbus which already has it installed. I am about to take some pics in the next few weeks of the way in which the hardware is mounted and will be able to post if wanted.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely,and in good condition- but rather tossed in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"
