    Default is it worth wrapping the aircon pipes in heat reflecting material?



    all this pipework seems to get pretty hot

    is it worth putting that silver heatwrap on it?

    wouldnt think so coz wen in use and the engine is at normal temp that pipe still manages 2 freeze up almost instantly and gets an ice build up on it.

    yeah what wrx884 said, plus the A/C still gets dam cold so i dont think it bothers it not having heat reflective wrap on it, im sure if it was an issue holden would have wrapped it
    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    it would help alot in warmer months, but youd need at very minimum 9mm thick insulation but either way its not going to do alot. best way is to try it and record your findings. it the airs 1* cooler you win =]
