Default R-12 A/C Charge

Can anyone in the 757 recharge a R-12 A/C system?

Or does anyone know a shop that can.

Thanks, Nick

I just did a retrofit on mine for R-134.

Other than that, I think Merchant's can.

Is the retrofit working good? I have been reading a lot of bad things about this... but that is the internet.

I will check out Merchant's.

Thanks

How could there be anything bad about a retrofit. As long as you evacuate your system of all the R12 and its oil, and put in a new reciever drier then nothing could be bad about it

Honestly nick. I'd go with the Retrofit. Although I hate saying this but carmasters on newtown road in va beach can do retrofitting for a good price with warrantied Car Quest parts.

R-22 would not work for your car. It will run too hot on the discharge side of the compressor. Like other said.......do a retro job and you'll be set. Make sure to change out the oil in the compressor, change the o-rings out, and leak test your system.

'Beach radiator' did mine with r12. only like $10 more per pound than R134. Its not really that much more and R12 works better in an r12 system than a retrofit.. There's also a product called Freeze 12 that works very good too is what I hear.. You can buy it online/
