Euro Climate controls

Hello trusty 116 enthusiast! There is a Euro Climate control unit on ebay, i was thinking about installing this in my car, what will i need to do to install this into my car? thanks

I'm not sure but I think it's mostly cable operated so you'd need most every thing from flaps to the water valve.  I think the AC control is different also.  I'm thinking that the early six cylinder US cars had manual controls so you might look around for a doner car.

Another option, one that I am considering but may never get around to since the ball valve works for me, is the unwired tools digital retrofit.

I don't think it is a simple "plug and play" exercise. The two systems are totally different.

And from what I hear, very problematic !

This is quite correct, you would have to completely reroute hoses for the heater, not to mention finding and setting up the cable-driven blower speed control.

500Eguy, I recommend you get as many parts as possible, just the "front end" (eg, dash controls) won't get you any real ability to change it over.  I happen to have two euros that might be in a position to donate, PM if you are interested in possibly working something out.
