Ryans MK2 GTI

[ryana89]

How is the seat repair treating you Ryan?

was the drive back to wagga fun?

Seat's awesome, I can drive long distance now without destroying my back.
The trip back was great, love the PS the most, give's the car a really quick 'turn in' feel to it.

Hey Ryan, regarding the mk3 sd7v16 swap, what else was needed from the mk3 other than the compressor?

It's not the easiest job, CamdenGTI had a few things modified to work for me.
This page explains it, VWVortex.com - MK2 ABA Serpentine Conversion Including A/C and P/S.

AFAI, you'll need
-Complete MK3 (GL) belt setup (AC comp, Alt, brackets, PS pump, pulleys)
-Corrado radiator (correct hoses)
-You could use a raddo G60 compressor to keep the same hose fittings
-Or have the A/C hoses modified to accept the SD7V16 out lets
-Time/patience

Thanks for sharing how you did it.
My situation is slightly different, I have the SD7V16 compressor but figuring how to connect with existing mk2 hoses. I don't mind using the old v belt setup just want to swap out the old sd508. I assume the mk3 hoses will not fit on mk2, looks like I need to get someone to modify the fitting
