Given the year date of yours i'm surprised it's not got a/c though unfortunately with m/h's and campers it's often an 'extra' (unlike cars) and because of the high cost of pvc's buyers will cut back on 'extras' they think they can do without.

If a Peugeot which most of that year seem to be it might be worth asking a dealer or for a better price, an air-con specialist.

Paul,

I looked into doing this for my Mk2 Boxer Harmony and the parts alone were going to be exorbitant. Whilst the compressor and heat exchangers are available, pre-formed pipes need to be sourced through PSA. My aircon chappy - see below - strongly advised against fitting any pre-used aircon parts.

Unless the control circuitry is already built into your harness - unlikely in my view - you're potentially going to be faced with a major electrical integration task, in addition to mechanical integration. Considerable disassembly of the dashboard etc is also likely.

I've not quite given-up the idea for my van, but it's no longer on my list of priorities!

BTW if you want a really good aircon guy, I strongly recommend the following guy here in Redditch: John Court of Auto Aircon 01527 520520. It might be worth calling him for a chat.

Hi
Thanks for the info, most 2013 symbols have cab ac, so I wondered if some of the loom might be there.
I’ll give your man a ring and see what he says.
Paul.

We were considering retrofitting to our 2006 Symbol so comments about harness and piping noted and underlined in red. Sounds like a call to your man is a good idea.

Meanwhile, has anyone used/heard of Alpinair in London W5?
