Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: Subpage of MembersPage/MarcellGal/PowerAndTraction * Even before we purchased the car, they warned that the "cooler of the air conditioner is missing" * more than that, I think the compressor is also missing ! ** but I have a compressor from earlier (searching for it ;-) ** I'll check if it's driven by the same type of belt. Beltspeed (compressor RPM at max RPM) Anyway, since most of the A/C seems to be in place, it is probably possible to make A/C work so the car gets highly suitable to travel to KOE (King of Europe race, in 2007 held in Poland) '''A/C Control related thoughts''' * disable compressor at max TPS * disable compressor during cranking * after disabled, do NOT enable for 20 seconds (to prevent compressor clutch wear and belt abuse) MembersPage/PaulF - also should disable A/C if pressure is too low (method depends on type of pressure sensor). For vehicles without IAC valve it would be useful to be able to disable A/C at a speed/pedal point (to prevent engine stall) ---- '''Clearance''' http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/MarcellGal/Audi/oldengine/oldbay_05_m.jpg * 1 hydraulic fluid container (steering and brakes) * 2 break cylinders and break fluid tank (also for clutch) * 3 main radiator for engine coolant ** there seem to be enough space in front of it for the air conditioner cooler. In fact, with the charge cooler's space requirement, I cannot imagine any other mounting position for the air conditioner radiator * 4 mounting flange for ... (?) ** It looks like Power steering * 5 mounting flange for the alternator. The front (circular shaped) part was probably used for mounting the small (18 cm tall) factory charge cooler. A bigger charge cooler would not clear this, so modifications needed with a bigger charge cooler. * 6 Fuel filter Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
