Hi
Any remove the air con system from an A4 B?
I was wondering whether the aluminum pipes along the firewall are detachable or do you have to just cut them?

dummer

You mean the refrigerant pipe? they just hold down by the aluminium block

nzant008

Yes I can?t quite see where the aluminum refrigerant pipes detachs by the firewall. Do I need to pull up the rubber boot?

Brilliant
Why didn't I find that video in my search?? :o

dummer

wondering what are you trying to do. Delete air con just before summer? :o

nzant008

I don't normally use the air con unless I am in gridlock.

I need to get rid of the ally pipes to fit the bracked to retrofit a strut brace factory strut brace.

I remember people said you can lift the low pressure pipe so it sit on top of the mount(but I haven't tried)

nzant008

Yup that's the conversion I want to fit.
I haven't heard you could lift the lower pipe, but I will give it a try before I remove the system.

Air con is nice to have when you need it! > ;D
