Airco installation Options

[abflug]

I'm planning to buy a donor car to take out the airco system and install it in my car.
Does anybody now if it's an easy job or is it difficult to reach all the parts for uninstallation/installation?

physical installation is not hard, the only thing you need to pull from the dash is only the glove box. I wrote at least the evaporator core sticky so that should help you with a big part of it. the rest inside the engine bay are just hoses, drier, compressor, condensor, etc.

You should buy a new evaporator if it looks busted, but if not, you should change the expansion valve and drier. then vacuum it, refill correctly and test for leaks. 3 months is a good period to know for sure if you have a leak, usually even slow leaks dont normally get past 3 months unnoticed. Good o-rings is another thing to look at and rechecking the oil on the compressor.
