Just wondering if it's possible and how easy lol.

I'd assume that you'd use the gear from a mk4/5?

yep its called open you're window :lolz:

it would probly be possible to do but it will cost a hell of a lot of money to do, try an escort as some of them had ac on them and its the same engine if its a zetec, but you will have to mount the pump the right way as the belt goes in the opposite way on the escort and it will zap power from your engine

The German eBay has standard kit for AC, autolights and autowipers. Just never fitted over here.

I thought fords must have done it somewhere, or thought of it.

I noticed when i changed the heater control on mine, there is a 5 piece connecter, but on mine only 4 slots are filled with connectors. So i guess on the german ones there are 5 connectors and their heater control must push in or something to activate a.c.

Have you got a link mate? I tried looking but i couldn't understand the language lol. I could find the a.c. pump for mk3 fiesta, but no kits :S

There's no kits, all original parts. Find items you suspect are right, then use google to translate.

Yeah lmao.

Just need to pick up a few more bits for it... but i've already paid for them. Connect it all together and then drop straight in.

I could have done it sooner, but i thought shall i have a 2.0 which is dirty for ford fair, or keep the 1.6 in and have a extremely shiny car for ford fair - Just keep the bonnet shut :look:

lol

Ok, i have found 2 different types of air conditioning dryers for mk3 fiestas, and they both fit the fiesta xr2i 16v zetec, which will be the same as the Si
And i found a belt.
But that's it lol
I think pipes and radiators and things are needed too

Good luck on finding the proper parts.

The MK3's in Spain etc has aircon.... instead of powersteering.

So there is obviously an issue of having both, eg. cant be done, otherwise ford would have done it.

The Aircon pump on my mondeo is tiny, I reckon with abit of fabrication I could get aircon working in a fiesta.... but I dont see the point IMO.

Fit a MK5 dash & heated box conversion and fit the MK5 stuff.... that would be best!

I managed to find a pic of what the control looks like - after spending a long time on the spanish google lol.

Looks as if that pic is very compressed. But you can roughly see that the heater control looks alot different to what we are used to.
