Hi all,
This might sound a bit strange, but I'd like a little opinion/input from you all.
My AC isn't working all that well and honestly I'm not bothered about fixing it. My car (54 2.2 CDTI tourer) is just reaching 200,000 miles and the amount of work needed to keep it alive is increasing somewhat.
There's loads of AC related pipework and components in the engine bay that are currently useless, and I like the idea of removing it all so working within the engine bay is easier.
I've already seen some posts about removing the AC compressor and using a shorter belt to compensate, and I know I'd have to get the AC system emptied by a professional.
My question is, is this a bad idea? Anything that I perhaps should be concerned about in doing this?
Thanks
