3rd row aircon?
I understand on the newer D3s some have 3rd row aircon.
anyone know where the vents are in the rear? how does the air/pipes route to 3rd row?
wondering if its something that may be possible to retro fit If I were to buy the relavent bits from dealer.2004 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi Silver

there are two vents on the C pillar and one to the side of the LH rear seat, don't think it's a DIY job as you'd have to remove the headlining to fit the ductwork, route the coolant pipes to the engine bay and install a second compressor

not a lot then.
I was hoping it was a case of a few tubes from row 2
dont know why you need another compressor....the cars still the same size.... unless they are saying the current setup isnt good enough to keep the whole car airconditioned 2004 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi Silver

second compressor required due to independent control - why do you find it necassary to always look for faults and reasons to criticise?

I have 2 large dogs and with the AC in the rear they travel well long distances. What man wouldn't give his dogs the best?
The rear AC system is one of the better (and least costly) options when buying, absolutely recommended for Australian conditions.
