Guest diesel_jim Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I thought that the only defendres with no vents were the latest 2.4 offering. unless your mate got hold of an unfinished buklhead... it went part way down the production line and didn't have the vents stamped out? thinking about it... am i right in thinking that some early bulkheads from vehicles that had air conditioning didn't have the vents? or were they just plastic covers that went over the holes?

HoSS Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 never seen a bulkhead with blank vents. are you sure its not been modified that way? (i.e. weld/filler/paint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimC Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Early AC bulkheads did not have vents, all the NAS 110's were done this way in order to use up all the supplies of old carp AC units on Americans! I dont know of any TD5's that lack vents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Did it come with the vents. Some do and some don't. Not sure the reason why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulisa Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 well when i look on the inside behind the plastic trim i cant see any welding being done to cover over the vents and there is no brackets for the vent openers but on the outside of the car you can see where the vents would be as they are resesed will try to put a pic on so you guys can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It'll be a older air conition bulkhead, some for USA & Germany had the vents blanked by plastic ribbed covers on the outside & IIRC no cutouts or brackets inside as yours has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 plastic ribbed covers snigger snigger snigger...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) like these on this E reg 1987 model year 90 the part number of your new bulkhead could be MXC9012 upto chassis number LA939975 for rhd air cond fitted vehicles or or ALR5117 from MA939976 rhd, the black plastic ribbed vent covers are MTC6109 x 2 & should have 2 studs on the rear face to attach them to the bulkhead with appropriate nuts/washers on inside. hth Edited May 30, 2007 by western picture & part numbers added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulisa Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 thanks western yes my car has 2 holes in the recess on both sides so i will try to buy a pair of the plastic infill bits i was thinking of gluing a pair of vents on to make it look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
