mattl Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Hi just wonding if there are any threads on this. I've searched but haven't found anything. Having no air con in Townsville is killing me. I'm wondering how difficult/expensive it would be to add. Was air con an option on this or equivalent models? any info greatly appreciated. matt Quote
Teddy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Aircon was a factory option on all models, at an extra cost. Not hard to fit if you know what your doing. Give me a few hours, got something you'll love, and wont be able to find anywhere else on the net :D Quote
love ke70 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 i have aircon in my 4k ke70. don't use it coz i have to flat foot to maintain 100km/h up a slight incline nicks right, convert to something with more jizz, then get aircon :D Quote
Mosus Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 I just pulled air con outa my brothers KE70 with a 4kc i've got a condesner, compesrssor mounting brackets, some of the hoses let me know if you want it he might want to get rid of it Quote
Valandor Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 go to a motor shopy thing like autobarhn. evaporative air cons that plug into you ciggie lighter they go for around $50 yeah sure its not as effective as actuall air con but its cheaper and doesnt affect engine performance. just remember to fillt he water canister or its just a fan Quote
mattl Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for the replys guys. I was hoping they'd be common but it doesn't sound like it. The 4AGE option sounds good but I haven't got those kind of $ to spend. Going from slug to slow, I assumed that'd be the case but it's 95% a town car and I think I'd rather have nipple erections and a slightly slower car than a pretty slow car that doubles as a sauna. So suppose I did come across a unit at a wrecker, how much should I expect to pay for all the parts? Any vague idea? And would it be relatively straight forward to install? These 12v plug in deals... I'm guessing it's like one of those evaporative coolers and not really an air-con right? thanks again guys. matt Quote
Raven Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Evap. cooling in Townsville just wouldnt work. Was up there in June last year and i was feeling the heat coming off the plane. Evap. cooling would turn the car into a sweatbox me thinks. Quote
Valandor Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 yep not so much air con just makes it a bit cooler Quote

I'll probably see how I go locally for now. Not something I really want to spend much dosh on. Where abouts in oz are you? matt Evap. cooling in Townsville just wouldnt work.

Definitely right - even more of a sweat box than it already is. It's nice up here in June, you should try Dec/Jan. Looks like we might have some cyclone action now too - it's all fun. matt Edited February 23, 2006 by mattl Quote

Trent-KE30 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I went and had a look at a KE70 wagon that was for sale last night and it had a dirty old 4k and original air con unit installed! :locked: Quote

I would agree with Nick K motar sluggish and so sloooooooooooow. However i am all ears. Thanks for the heads up. At least there are *some* around. Too bad Tamworth is so far from Townsville. I'm sure I'll come across one eventually. Yeah, the 4kc is slow without a/c and I'm sure it'll be wore with it. But it's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make, it's just way too hot up here to not have air-con. thanks matt Quote
