So has anyone done a complete R-12 to 134a refrigerant swap? I have swapped the 'adapters' for the high and low pressue valves, but never gone in detail enough with it to swap the rings and what not. Im thinking about doing this to my Acura this weekend. When just doing the inputs it will stay could for 3-4 weeks before the 134a leaks out, which inst bad at 5-8.00 a can. Any ideas?
I have had a/c troubles too. I added a can, it worked for a couple of days and quit working. The gauge read charged, a week or so later we added a can and a half and it's been working for weeks now.
I think when I charge it Im going to get the stuff with the 'stop leak' in it. I only drive this turd to work and occasionally to run errands in, so Im not too worried about it, but it would be nice on days like today where it is 102 w/100% humidity.
Yeah, I was going to say get something a little pricey with a guarantee. Some of them have a 2 yr guarantee. Then put a can in immediately after it. I've heard people say it does a good job.
Well its been almost a week and it is still blowing cold. One more can is what I need, I believe, I read that if you just shoot it in till the pipes 'sweat'. Then you know its full.
Nah, I should have ponied up and bought a decent kit. I think you can get them from Harbor Freight pretty cheap (with the guage).
