My air conditioner is pretty bad. It takes a good 15minutes to get cool and even longer to actually be cold. I've been reading through some archived stuff at nicoclub.com and everything I looked at mentions Freon, pressure witch on a dryer, condensors, R-12 and R-134a systems. I don't know A/C so I don't know what exactly all that stuff is refering to so can any of you help. As we all know it HOT out here and having a crappy a/c sucks. Can you suggest a shop or someone you know who I can get my a/c fixed at?

 

well.....I've just learned that I need to get my A/C system updated/ugraded to an R-134a system. I didn't know anything about this stuff and in the last 5minutes of being at jiffy lube, I know what I need.

now.......Do any of you know how to do this swap or where to get the parts?

 

They have pre-made kits to convert it to R-134a, you can get them from Wal-Mart or K-Mart IIRC.

 

autozone has the fitting kit also, but unless you have a vacuum pump i suggest you take it to a shop or someone with the equipment.

 

OK thanks......both of you
I'll go see if I can get the kit right now
I don't have a vacuum pump so I'll have to find a shop tomarrow to do this

 

Better call around to find one that can evac your R12... Not all shops can.

 

i can

 

The R12 half of my machine broke and I said fuck it, not worth the money to fix. Plus, if I really need to evac a system some of my other shops close by can do it.

 

pm'd

well.....lemme know where one of "your other shops" are then please

 

NO YOU DON'T. its called HC 12a. direct replacement for 134a, cools better and has a lubricant that prolongs the life of the AC parts. $39.95
