Bit of a bump on this thread, mine is /was attached, but ive replaced my heater core with aftermarket, and this thermistor is now separated from the heater core by some foam Does it have any effect on the A/C (theats really two questions)

thanks, klausVanWinkle for initiating this thread! i'm about to start on the system for my 80! your effort in documenting it is much appreciated!

Finished -- all working I am now "locked and loaded" again Very satisfying -- as you can see from the rather poor quality photo, when I dismantled the actuator it was full of crud and the shaft was locked solid -- took hours to free...

Thanks for not posting any “action” shots! :eek:

G'Day Cobbers, Just back from a weekend away up the bush. I gave the new shower system a run and I'm very happy with the final product. From a cold start, it took the engine 5 minutes to get to a warm temperature but by 10 min's the shower water...

United Diesel in Alexandria, Virginia ordered them for me.

lol... Well, you gotta start somewhere. A stupid question is one that's not asked.

where did you get them?

The batteries were at like 7v, so they were real done dead. I ended up getting the Genius10 from Noco and threw it on one battery. Took the whole night, but it got charged, did the other one the next night. Put them together and was sitting at...

As Sved says, if your clever electrical shop has hooked the Aircon up to one battery to provide 12 volts, (probably the low side battery judging by your voltages), then your batteries are unbalanced and frying each other. I suspect your Air...

LOL, I have a replacement pump already, I was just remarking that the unit looks suspiciously "penis like". Sorry, childish I know ;) Thanks for the suggestions on the frozen bolt. I'm going to first try the oxy/acetylene heat route followed...

Anyone know if its possible to use normal hydraulic hose (like we use on tractors, heavy machinery etc) to replace part of the A/C line? Does the hose used in A/C have a special inner surface because of the gas, and specific lubricants used?

It might not be a 1 banana job but you sure sound like a monkey carrying on like that! No one's forcing you to reply to his questions and there's plenty of others who are more than happy too help.

Yeah, not sure why my question would be inappropriate here... Anyway, like you said, I couldn't find any specific information on the manual idle up conversion. Would it be more than just using the hand throttle when I turn on the AC?

Pfft... Ask away mate. This is exactly what this section is for. I see zero reason why someone can't ask a technical question in the tech thread section. Yes you might be able to find some info in a build thread but finding specific technical...

Use your lungs and a piece hose.
