Yeah i was surfing the net looking for mods etc. and stumbled on this website:
http://www.europeancoolerair.com/
They show pics of them installing it into a bug - looks pretty snazzy!
I hate aircon though, give me windows down at 80km/h any day :)

Keep buggin.

Hey - move to Hedland and you'll love it. It's currently hitting the forties, and it's not summer yet!

Of course it can be done; Mexican NOBs (New 'Old' Beetles) are available with air-conditioning from the factory.

Hello,

I'm interested in getting my beetle aircon too. Afterall, I can't do 80km in the traffic jam or city traffic!

How much did it cost and where did you get the parts from.

BTW, why did you use a Holden Comm air con and not the Beetle aircon mentioned?

Was the latter harder to get?

AIR COND Beetle


I still want to Air Con My 68Auto Bug with 1600sp Engine with doghouse cooler etc. All the pics I have seen have the compressor on the LHS of the Carby... but I have a control valve mounted there...so Having the Compressor on the RHS is a better option for Me... I am thinking of a small light alloy compressor...NOT the Large Heavy type normally used 10-20 years ago. I believe the biggest hurdle is the compressor followed by the evaporator, which can be either mounted under the dash [normal] or maybe behind the dash with vents coming thru the dash, or thru under the dash..:o It won't be a weekend project.... It'll take a lot longer than that,
unless You have lots of pics and drawings with sizes... etc..... even then it'll be a big job..... to Me anyway.... I have thought of having the condenser under the front of the car with one or two electric fans. I have been thinking of using an Air Con system from a 1300cc ford festiva... as it was made for a small capacity engine...
I'm still looking at pics of VW systems and thinking....:o
