Air con delete

[Scotram]

Hi, is anyone using the pure Motorsport air con delete kit?

It seems good value but not sure how it compares to original non air con set up.

Cheers Scott

Yeah I've got it. Well it came with the car, It's a manual adjusted tensioner instead of spring loaded so you have to make sure it's set up right.

I've got the one with just the brackets and the belts, not the billet pulleys and stuff but it's a fair bit for just is what's essentially a bracket!!

Couldn't comment on how much of a change it is as when it was fitted there was also other things done (flywheel, belts, dephaser, the works). Revs freely though and was definitely quicker after it was removed. (I knew the car before it became mine)

Weight saving is good, also means the front end could be taken off without having to worry about the AC gas, haven't had it long enough to comment on whether I miss the AC but I'd rather go quicker than be cool

Fitted this kit the other month. It's nice and easy to fit, the only issue I had was the belt supplied with the kit was a little short. Belt supplied is pk6 1300, I had to buy a pk6 1310. Apparently it's only been a recent issue this though and only with ph-1s.

Kit in general though is really good, I did remove the Cup alternator set up from my Cup when I broke it last year and it did seem abit more complicated than the PureMotorsport kit.

glad this thread came up as I was told about it tonight and i'm really tempted on buying one on payday

You could go Laguna 8v alternator / PAS bracket,(same as Cup) new Cup alternator and matching belt all for roughly half the price

think the problem with that is trying to find a 8v laguna..but great if you know were one is

The pure kit is £140

You will struggle to get brackets/alt/belt for that price!

Thought it was more than that for some reason.

The lightweight AC delete kit is £310. That's what I am going to go for methinks.

Ye they have 2, a light weight removal kit and now a removal kit that's only £140, great price that, same as cup set up really and includes a belt!
