Ac Re-gas

[Cubes]

Not sure..

I've just gone with what ever the a/c bloke put in mine.

[Madaz]

yeah your system i assume is the R12 compliant sort that pre 94 but im only guessing

[Cubes]

Yeah mine came from japan with r12.

If its released with R134a then u retain r134a; if not avoid it and go r12a. Thats if you don't want to be replacing aircon compressors and increasing your fuel bill.

[Madaz]

^^ so in that answers your question Kietz

R33 GTR would be post 1994 with a R134a system

[gtrkiet]

ahh thanks i think ill jst chuck R12 in my car i asked so many places and they all dont do R12A 'bummer' >< $170 for R12 is that alright price?

[Madaz]

don't be a fool man

haven't you been listening @ all

R12 is for R12 systems

R134a is for R134a systems

DONT mix the two or your compressor wont like it

my mate also says you cant get R12 anymore and its been like that for years so if there saying its R12 its prolly one of the substitutes

if you want to waste $170 on getting that then go right ahead but i did tell you earlier my mate can do it for $50

R12 can 'apparently' still be had BUT its recycled. Chances of finding it are slim to none. A little like R12a.

Kiet.. Who said they still have R12?

[gtrkiet]

[tom9999]

If you have r12 which is an old gas you will need to swap it over to the new gas R134a

and if you need a regas you have a leak.

so you need to pump some nitro through it to see where it is. most of the time its the o rings on the flair nuts so just tighten so of the connections and hose fittings up.

To see if you need some refrigerant check the sight glass on the silver tank looking thing [drier] and see if its got a full charge of liquid do this while the car is running and the AC is on. also check to see if your condenser fan kicks in.

[Madaz]

yeah he will come to your home but would be great if both of you arrange best day for you 2 and ill try to organise around that for next weekend

[gtrkiet]

any day is fine for me and any time.

[Giveitall]

might prefer weekdays after 4 or anytime for weekends.
