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.

There use to be kits for this a few oring a new fill port so you can connect the
R134 hose to you system. the way I've seen this done was, to pump the system down to remove the R12, change seals & the port. verify oil level, pump down agian. leak check then charge, with R134. fallow kit instruction. some come with an oil charge. when dealing with freon there are laws to deal with. Just so you know. |
