**Removing the aircon gas is both illegal and dangerous. You are at risk from poisioning and prosecution if you do this yourself. It is recommended you get a qualified aircon agent to remove the gas before dismantling the aircon components.**


remove AC radiator + pipes



remove pipes from bulk head

compressor unit close up









Compressor off

Short belt, cost me £6 from a local car parts shop (ask for Non AC power steering belt)

Compressor holding plate, also very heavy be sure to remove

Finished job, loads of room less weight! Happy

re-move air con?

i need to remove air con so just wondering how far i remove pipes to do i go back to bulkhead if so will it need blocking off

Removed everything as shown, just want to know what to do to stop the rad fan coming on straight away? Is it something to do with the 2 pin wires that are left unplugged? Also, does anyone know where the fuel filter is located on the ep82?

The two pipes that enter the bulkhead lead to the condensor unit behind the dash, no need to block these of as they don't lead anywhere important.

Plug the pressure sensor (it'll still be in the old piping) back in and your cooling fan will operate as normal.

Fuel filter is the one on the left in this pic:

Hi, anyone got pics of the pressure sensor that need's to be plugged back in? Not sure what it looks like so not quite sure on what to do now! Here's some pic's of the what it looks like now:



In the pic with the red ring is the only thing i have plugged in to the rad fan!

You would have removed a plug from the ac piping behind the battery. If the pipe has been removed as well bridge the two outer pins on the remaining plug and voila!
