Question:

Maruti 800 -AC components?

Hi , I want to know what are the various components which needs to be fitted for putting AC in my non-AC Maruti 800? I want to make sure the mechanic doesn't take me for a ride.

Answer:

Wow. That's a lot of work and parts. Start with the compressor, which is expensive for an average car, plus condenser, high and low pressure valves, hoses, lines, sensors, expansion valve, and the relay system which will need to be wired into your existing fuse system, which may have to be replaced as well. He'll have to use new parts because old parts from junk cars will have dry rot and corrosion, plus it's not good for AC systems to sit for long periods with no pressure or oil inside.
