Alright. Instead of starting up another thread I'm just gonna steal this one since it's no longer in use
Since the weather is getting so hot outside and the leather seats and untinted windows just add more heat inside my car .... and my back!, I thought I'd get the AC in my car working again. It worked really well when I bought the car so Im thinking it's just low on R12 (I have a '93 Tsi).
My question - is the conversion kit a DIY kind of job? I've never messed with AC ever in my life, so I've no clue. I just read that the 'cold' line is under the intake manifold by the condensor (woohoo, fun fun!). Since it's just new adapter plugs going on, it doesnt sound very hard and confusing. Now, anyone know of a good place where I can get my R12 taken out and replaced with R134? Or just have the R12 taken out and I'll add the R134 myself cause it doesnt seem hard. Plus, I'd rather have a machine check for leaks at the same time it takes out the R12 before I go on a waste a couple cans of R134.
Im hoping to do this within the next week or so. Thanks guys!
