Air Conditioning Re-gas

[tigeryas]

Hey guys

did a search but didnt come up with anything (unless i did it wrong)

where can i get a cheap air-con re-gas just in time for the late summer? I was quoted at $120 from a mechanic which shall remain unnamed, there's gotta be a place cheaper than that... right?

You can get one for around 3000yen (almost $AU40) in Japan (Rezz can you confirm me on that or am i wrong?)

Thanks in advance.

120 is about right...

Where was your quote from dude - I need mine done soon, tis too f**king hot..

[7yphon]

Yer same I was quoted $270 because it would need to be converted to the new Gas system

[Josh]

f**k me!! thats pricey.... I imagine mine would need the same done to it.. spose thats what ya gotta pay to be comfortable tho...

I charge $110 retail for regas n $270 retail to change over to 134a

[Josh]

Dsturbed: The $270 one - would I need that one?? The car came straight from japan with non-cold aircon

[damono]

My car had already been converted to 134A apparently, but went to regas, left it there and was told at the end of the day that my condensor (?), what looks like a mini radiator, had a hole in one of the top tubes and cannot be welded due to the metal used and needed to be replaced. Does this sound right to anyone? If so.. does anyone have a spare they can sell me?

[Dsturbd]

I have condensors for 32 n 33 damono ..

if car was on r12 it will need change over Josh ...

[7yphon]

Yer sounds right you are leaking gas my old EA did the same couldnt be arsed about doing anything about it because its pricey and you have to remove shit

[Josh]

I have condensors for 32 n 33 damono ..

if car was on r12 it will need change over Josh ...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know f**k all about air con gas.. Is that what most of them come like from japan?

spose I can have a look and see if its written anywhere on there...

[damono]

Mine looks like it was already converted before it got here. Theres a couple of stickers with jap writing then 134a after it, so im guessing I can take the std 134a

[Josh]

I couldn't find any stickers with mine just had a look.. I guess an air con place would be able to tell..

[tigeryas]

134a, r12... huh?

spare me your medical mumbo jumbo...

old air con is harmful for environment hence gotta take it out or something...? since when did that happen?

[Dsturbd]

33s had 134a , 32s had r12

[StuiE]

It shold also say on your compressor what type of gas it takes

$270 to get it converted is a pretty good price Bart

ayah auto.

These guys are top blokes. regassed my a/c for $50.

apparently u dont need to get them retrofitted if uve got an old one neither. Its all a BS scam. all a "retrofit" is, is replacing broken/ worn out components. These guys will suck out all the old gas and pressure test ur a/c + regas it. I had it on a 89 silvia for 13 months no issues.

Retrofitting is the biggest scam and it pisses me off that ppl rip off unsuspecting hard workin folk by chargin them $300+ for nothing.

These guys are in malaga and although the name might sound weird, they are top blokes, even drive hsv's.

Cheers

sounds like a plan

[Dsturbd]

$50 regas is cheap ...

[7yphon]

Just a question is it R12 Gas as I thought this gas was made Iligal becuase it does something to the atmosphere.
