Can AC be installed in a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick JX 4 door and how much would it cost?

Answer 1

It is possible.

Generally the AC was an aftermarket add on kit even from the 'factory'. It is one of the perks the dealer here in the US gets to cash in on.

As for cost, it will be expensive compared to the value of the vehicle. I am guessing $600-$1000. I doubt you could get the parts new anymore. It may get a little cheaper with a universal kit or cheaper still with used equipment.

If you consider used be sure you get a system that uses freon 134A NOT freon 12 as it is not available anymore except as a bastardized hybrid gas from Russia or some place and it is somewhat flammable.

sure i can, in fact all cars can be.

but you failed to say

YOU DO?

or someone else do?,, kinda important that.? no?

I think if you were to get the parts used for around $200 to $300 then I am quite sure you could find someone to put them on for an additional $400 to $800 (probably a lot less). So it becomes obvious what the answer is!

If you buy a NEW system either Universal or design specific it may cost substantially more and to come in at the high end around $1000 would be possible.

Certainly doing the work yourself would be substantially cheaper.

many on our forum , get the parts off a donor car and then install it

this includes the harness and all dash parts for A/C (long hard work that. no?)

then they overhaul it , and last take it in to have it , pumped down then filled.

new compressor , new flex hoses, Reciever dryer and expansion valve.
