How To A/c
I could have sworn there was a How To in a simple o-ring replacement for the air conditioning. Can't find it. Was I dreaming? Was the o-ring fix for something else?

Re: How To A/c
AC O-ring replacement takes an expert with the proper gauges and refrigeration recovery equipment.

Re: How To A/c
Slightly more involved, but this should fix your problem.

And actually may have already if you have had compressors go bad. PS: Maybe I should clarify. I am speaking only of R134 systems. The old freon R12 is very forgiving and no problem to self install except for vacuum pumping if necessary. Lee

Re: How To A/c
R-12 freon is readily available on ebay for an average of about $20 per 12 oz. can. Not as cheap as 'back in the day', but price and availability seem to have been pretty constant for about the last 5 years. Some sellers require proof of your EPA 609 certification to buy it, but there's really no enforcement. If you want a legitimate 609 certification, I got mine for about $20 online by taking a quick "open book" test, and it never expires.
http://www.macsw.org/AM/Template.cfm...on=Section_609 There's no question that R-12 out-cools R134a! Last edited by davew833; 05-24-2010 at 05:40 PM. |

Re: How To A/c
I've never understood all the fuss about 134a refrigerant. Both of my cars use it and keep me quite comfortable here in the warm, humid south. After a few minutes the airflow becomes uncomfortably cold on my hands and I have to re-aim the vents. If there's a measurable, appreciable difference in cooling ability, as I gather there must be, it seems scarcely noticeable in real-world use.
