Mine wasn't broken, I'm not an aircon fan, and so when I had the choice, I didn't put it back on.

If I were to tour in it then I'd put it back in for sure.

17kg - blimey !! What on earth have you got fitted to your car. The standard one is only about 3kg.

And if you're removing it just because it's ugly - give it a polish.

From barnacle to bling . . .

That is for the complete removal of the system.. The pump definitely weighs more than 3kg mind.

Why take it out? If it isn't working, the clutch wont be engaged so won't be using power. Weight must be minimal
It's about 17kg, so not insignificant.
No, that is a quite a substantial weight saving, zero cost...compare that to the cost per bhp of tuning to get the same power to weight, same braking etc. If you are on a weight saving mission with a light car to start with 17kg is a good result...especially if it is broken in the first place.
My car weighed 1170kg so at best thats 1.5% of the weight. I really doubt thats even noticeable in real terms.
I weigh 10 stone - maybe you should all get smaller drivers, or diet biggrin

plus as said - you can always polish it. I did mine when the engine was apart

Each to their own. My original invoice said it was a £1595.74 option (plus vat)

5bhp/tonne for free and best part of 20kg off the nose.. I guess if you just pop to the shops or pootle to the pub on a Sunday you wouldn't notice. For the sake of something that might have been broken as reason for removal.

Swap the seats out, fit some lighter wheels and you could be 75kg down with very little work. Improved ride/handling/going/stopping..

Seats I'll definitely go with as heavy, in fact Bloody heavy when I took them out, but then they are so comfy (the early ones)

A lot of people do not get weight saving and often quote the ‘I could lose weight" and whilst they could lose weight they can still benefit more by shedding weight off the car. You are right 75kg would make a huge difference to many aspects of performance and saving 17kg on a broken part that you don’t use is a big chunk of the work done….we all want different things and that makes life interesting.

I have spent a lot of titanium bolts.

Interesting statement. Mine's almost completely apart and I can tell you that, for a 2001 4.5


Compressor = 5.8

Evaporator = Can't get to so no idea

Condenser, Receiver Dryer, Fuel Cooler & Pipes = 6.7

(all Dry)

Much easier (and lighter) to take the Passenger Seat out !
