arep3 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 not that much work to "convert" to HR12 unless the car has already been converted to R134a. if the car still has the old R12 gas in it, then it just needs to be tested etc. Degassed and regassed with HR12. Ill have a quick guess at around $300 mark? Someome correct me if im wrong please Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199591-aircon-regassers-in-melbourne-that-use-hychill-hr12-gas/page/5/#findComment-4929016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

toygtr Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hey, Haven't seen this before. I've had my R32 GTR for 5 years now and have never had air con. It was never gassed since it came over. Where around croydon or ringwood does this regassing with hychill? I also have got to get the pulley bearings looked at as they are very noisy. Any suggestions on where to go?

Where around croydon or ringwood does this regassing with hychill? I also have got to get the pulley bearings looked at as they are very noisy. Any suggestions on where to go? Hey. The gas were talking bout is known as either Hychill or HR12. A lot of A/C places will try to talk you out of it cos they dont know much about it themselves or have had too much R134a crap thrown at them to know any better. HR12 is essentially a natural refrigerant replacement for the old R12 systems that we have in R32's. The HR12 works a lot better then the R134a stuff. Enough for you to cool a can in front of your air vent! it also wont corrode your A/C system like R134a does. Sorry i dunno any places around your area that knows their stuff. I think my brother mentioned that his mechanic has it. ill find out soon. Good luck finding a place. I didnt really get a chance to talk to ya at the midnight cruise apart from trying to figure out where we were!. will hafta talk properly next time.

AnDyStYLe Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) As stated in an earlier post (although in 2008 lol), JNK Auto does HyChill... I just called them up now and spoke to Tim. What a champ, he spent like 20mins chatting to me about it explaining it all. Good thing was he was honest and said he is still acquiring his licence to do ac gassing and he doesn't personally do it, his boss does (John). Shows to me he's pretty clued up even though he doesn't personally do it. Anyway, I'm book in for next week. Their contact number is 9873 2622, located in Mitcham. Cheers, Andy Edit: Quoted $132 GST inclusive for the full works (i.e. full flush, lube and dye, and recharge etc.).

AnDyStYLe Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Ok guys, doing the whole works including fault testing, full flush, change of receiver dryer, and gass fill... John mentioned that they is not point doing the full works if you don't change the receiver dryer as it acts as a filter. All up if all goes well it'll actually be about the $220 mark!!! The lubricate they'll be using is Wurth Ester Oil with U/V Dye (http://www.wurth.com.au/catalogueview.asp?pdf=A04_0601.pdf). Just done some research and found positive reviews. Better than PAG oil. Will keep you all posted... Cheers, Andy Edit: Ok, now found that POE = POE Polyolester (type of oil for A/C) according to acronyms.thefreedictionary.com, so if I'm not wrong that means the Wurth Ester Oil with U/V Dye is POE which is what level323 recommends. Hope that's the case!

AnDyStYLe Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ok boys, update... Ran into issues with the a/c where we found out that the a/c compressor sh!t itself... My options where either to repair, replace brand new or second hand. 1. Repair was going to be like $500, 2. Brand new $1k , 3. Sourced my own second hand unit for $100 So anyway, I picked up the compressor on Friday morning which we only found out this morning when the original one was removed to be replaced, it was the wrong one. Needed to go back to the wreckers to exchange for the correct one... Anyway, to cut the long story short... John/Tim from JNK Auto sorted it all out today and has done an excellent job. I am bloody wrapped!!! All up I spent $260 to JNK and $100 on the second hand compressor. I gotta say JNK looked after me pretty well and would recommend them for sure! Unfortunately John wasn't too keen on a "group buy" as in his past experiences, many of the people in the "group buy" ruin it for the others by not turning up. John would prefer a individual case by case like mine.
