Find a friend that's does A/C everyday, useless your an HVAC guru and have all the tools?
something new and different procedures in the A/C, plus if you can find someone like I have they can tell from experience what's the best bang for the buck thing to do or not to do.
I realize this connection isn't always possible.
I do know from talking over the years that anytime one part of the system goes bad, contamination of the entire system is very possible. unfortunately!
One other tid-bit I just learned R-134a is being taken off the market in 2007 or 2009, that's word from the produces of Freon.
Guess I missed that somehow about studies have showed it's worst that R-12.
One good thing got my old 89 Probe A/C back to is old meat locker self. I still think this whole thing had to due with money. R-12 costs $45.40 a lb. A 30 lb. can cost him $678. I know that 22.60 a lb.,but they have other costs EPA wise that brings up to the $45.40.
I haven't asked as to what it we take to convert my 98 Mystique back to R-12. But it's still working just fine, other than the fact it never came close to the cooling ability it would have had with R-12.
It's all a racket and my buddy is even more frustrated over all the high dollar equipment the EPA keeps requiring them to use.
