Hi,
I own a 98 model Maruti800 which completed 85000 kms... now i want to retrofit the a/c with the Sanden made one... i have a few doubts...
1)is there a need to change the radiator fan to 120 watts
2)will the sanden kit damage my engine
3)refrigerent used R2 or R1324a
4)cost of retrofitting the a/c
my front shock absorbers are also not working properly... so planning to change them
1)Maruti service station quoted 1500 for each. is that a fair price
2)is there any other aftermarket shock absorbers available for maruti 800
3)can i use shocks from alto?|||Best course for fitting an ac in Maruti 800 is fitting the coil behind the petrol tank.It will cost around 10k but the cooling will be fantastic. Also the radiator will not be affected as it will get direct air from the front grille.
Shock absorbers can also be repaired for around 150-200. Instead of buying repaired shockers, best course is to get your own repaired.
I also own Maruti 800 1986model and still running fine.|||Sorry Yogiraj, I had to give you thumbs down.
First of all, it will cost Rs. 28K approx. to fit good a.c kit at a dealer and 15k outside.
The kit are fitted at front to reduce No: of parts required to transmit power/ refrigerant from front to back.
Back to your question, brother, don%26#039;t you think you are adding an excess pressure on the 12 year old engine which is closer to its time? I say, forget of fitting any a.c kit, It will give you more trouble. Its R12 not R2. Any way its harmful to atmosphere than R134a.
And about the shock-up, the cost id fair enough for a dealer. But you will get cheaper outside.
