Yes, kudos, but Yes, it's a very well-written ad from an enthusiast seller, and kudos to him for disclosing the firewall rust, but... $29k?

Chris, I want to gently question your logic in removing the evap assembly for the sole reason -- if I understand you correctly -- of removing the hard lines so you can replace the flare fittings with o-ring fittings. Like the 2002 evap assembly, the E3 assembly has a #10 and a #6 flare...

Well, I'm about to pull the serpentine flow condenser in the E9 and replace with with a parallel. I'll see what size fan I have in there and how it fits.

While the hot drive to and from The Vintage on Memorial Day weekend was still fresh in my mind, I wanted to rejuvenate the a/c in the Bavaria. I'm posting it here in the Bavaria section because, while much of it applies to the E9, there ARE things that are different about the Bavaria. --As with...

A-ha!!!!!

DasCoupeGuy -- Sure, NOW someone coughs up the pic that I spent hours looking for online! (Seriously, that's great, and now everyone can direct their questions at you!) 72CS -- I'll take some measurements next time I'm under the car, which will probably be today. --Rob

Massive New Book Sales Luis, thanks for that. Yeah, on the basis of that as a chapter in a new book, I'd sell to the five guys who care...

I thought of you Steve, I thought of you, and your post, and your decision, as I dove into this and came out of it with quite a different conclusion than I expected...

So Let Me Summarize This a Different Way So the take-away message, from most to least desirable, is: 1) Buy a Sanden, and click on that Amazon link and spend the $114 and buy one of the last available kits, and order or make the adjusting strips OR 2) Buy a wing-cell compressor and bracket...

And yes... And yes, Bert Poliakoff explained all of these difficulties of adapting the wing-cell bracket to a Sanden to me over the phone! But I'm a very left-brained guy -- I need to see things myself to visualize and understand them.

The Great M30 Sanden Compressor Bracket Mystery – Still A Bit of a Mystery The aim of this post was to offer a solution to the problem of identifying a readily available bracket and related hardware that allows modern Sanden or equivalent a/c compressor to be used on the M30 engine of our...

Are the Following Statements Correct? I want to resurrect this thread and the idea of using the heater box fan to turbocharge the a/c evaporator squirrel cage fan, but first I need to fully understand how the heater box works. I'm a left-brained guy who finds it hard to visualize things unless...

010 to 012 I use a 010 to 012 feeler gauge. If the 010 slides in but it stops at the 012 step, it's good.

Cool! Nice write-up. When I researched and installed the servo-controlled valve last year, it never occurred to me that it might only work on a fuel injected car due to clearance issues. I'm now sorting out the a/c in the Bavaria (carbureted), which I believe has the same coolant plumbing...

So... you want to rejuvenate your a/c, and you know your York compressor's garbage and leaks like an old man after a prostate operation and yeah you'll replace it but golly gosh gee whiz you'd like to know what else leaks before you jump in with both feet? Me too. So I built this hose with two...

Sanden on a Wing-Cell Bracket Luis, I just sent you a PM. In your original post a year ago, Sven shows a close-up of this bracket and the "wing-cell" compressor. http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13163&highlight=luis+bracket If you look closely, you can see that: --the...

Yes, removing the evaporator assembly is an incredible pain in the butt. I've had mine in and out several times after I retrofitted a/c into the car at least 15 years ago, and each time, I think that plastic piece that mates the top of the evaporator to the rest of the air flow system is going...

long bracket-related post a-comin' Bert and I have swapped e-mails. I've just ordered a Sanden for the Bavaria, and am honor-bound to resolve this bracket issue for the good of the E9 community. When I come up for air, I'll photograph it all and post it. But Bert is probably two steps ahead of me.

I'm looking at getting the non-functional a/c in the Bavaria working. I shot it full of nitrogen and could hear it leaking out the compressor shaft seal, so to no great surprise, the York is a boat anchor. I well understand the process of a/c retrofit and rejuvenation (I retrofitted a/c into my...

Stan, I was out of the parking lot at the crack of 5am, as I wanted to get as many miles behind me while the temperatures were still cool as possible. Sorry to hear about your and Tom's legal entanglements. When I saw the speed traps I posted immediately to Facebook. In retrospect I obviously...
