I've heard R12 systems can be converted to R134a. Does anyone know what's involved? Should I convert my old car to R134a, or should I just try to get it charged with R12? I've heard that you have replace the seals in the system, but I've also heard that you don't. If it's easy and reasonably priced, I'd probably convert it.

Since R12 is no longer sold in Germany. I just remove the compressor and evap and get all the oil out and put in the exact amount of R134 compatible oil and charge the system with R134. It cools but is not as coldas R12, but close.
