I have been told so many different things by so many different people, be it Auto parts, mechanics, a/c techs, or people like yourselves, all different approaches to the r12-134 conversion. I've been told everything. Some say I need a new compressor, some don't. Some say I need to replace the dryer and again some don't. Others say I need to replace the o-ring seals on the tubing connections and again.....some don't. I finally said screw it, bought the conversion kit and juiced it up. There was no need to pull a vacuum on the system b/c it was bone dry. I let the car sit up for 2 years and the freon leaked out during that time. I am fairly confident that since the a/c was in good order when i left it, that the seals shrunk up and over time the freon leaked out. Well, it's been 24 hours so far, the car is holding the freon and it blows quite cold.
But my challenge to all of you is...to give a consistent procedure how to succesfully prepare and convert the a/c system to 134 for my '86 lx-i hatch.
Even if I screwed up by charging my system and not replacing something, I'll just wait until the system runs out of freon and correct the problem. I live in Texas. I drive an hour to and from work and I'm quite tired of driving in 95 deg. weather w/ no a/c.
