Most Russians drive VAZ cars. They are practical and easy to maintain. However, only recently, air conditioners have begun to be installed in some configurations of the latest models. But such models have a significantly higher price. What if you have a VAZ model without air conditioning? Install it on your own.

Air conditioner kit, garage, lighting, tools
Instructions
Step 1
First, think about the advisability of installing an air conditioner in your car. The fact is that the installed air conditioner consumes a lot of energy from your car's generator. Also, engine power is consumed, and our cars are not distinguished by the presence of an engine with high power. So think about whether it is worth spending the money to buy an air conditioner kit? After all, without additional modifications, it can easily disable your car.
Step 2
If you are determined to enrich your car with an air conditioner, then you should choose a kit for its installation. Such a set usually includes the air conditioner itself and all additional parts. Currently, on the shelves of car dealerships, you can find a wide range of such sets. You should not install an air conditioner from another car brand, since in this case you will have to carry out a lot of independent improvements. And in such kits there is everything necessary for installation without cardinal alterations. That is, you do not need to cook or remodel the body.
Step 3
Select the location where you will install. Your best bet is to find a closed garage with good lighting. You will also need a tool and an extra hand lamp to illuminate hard-to-reach areas. Put the car on the parking brake and remove the negative terminal of the battery. It will also be necessary to dismantle the car dashboard and steering wheel.
Step 4
Carefully study the instructions for installing the air conditioner. The entire installation process is described in detail there. Start the installation by mounting the compressor, freon cooling system and fan. You will have to cut a standard stove to install a cooling radiator behind the fan. Connect all air ducts, the radiator and the air conditioner itself with pipes through which the air flows. Connect everything to the power supply. When doing this, be sure to use fuses. Find a place for the button to turn on the air conditioner. Standard levers can be used to control the air flow temperature. Check the tightness of all air duct connections. Collect everything and make the first turn on.
