Air conditioning regas

[linxus40]

I imported my car before you could get them im withiout having the air con gas removed so atm my system has no gas in it and the little bottle is sitting in my back seat.

Ive heard that you need to replace all the seals on the system as the R134A gas that they use these day will eat through the seals on the system set up for the old 12A gas.

Firstly is this correct?

Secondly if it is how much am i looking at and can anyone recomend a place from the southland area that will do it and not cost me an arm and a leg.

Thanks

The seals should be replaced if the job is done properly, plus the receiver-dryer (the old one is probably that little bottle you mention) and they change the oil in the pump. Hoses don't usually need changing if they are in good nick.

You are looking at about $250 - that was what I was quoted, but my car came into the country charged with R12 and still cleared customs. Not a word from DEH.....yet (knock on wood ).

I use a mob called Kar Air in Ferntree Gully, but that's probably a bit far for you.

I was looking around about a year ago in the same area, and these guys were the cheapest I found, and the most professional. Gave me very good honest advice...

They also make intercoolers, and re-do end tanks and stuff...

Oh, and BTW, he also told me he has a replacement gas for the older type, so it wont cost as much...
