I just waited until the new compressor seized (about 100K miles) and had it restored to R-12. As I recall, I paid the shop around $1000 each time because just about everything had to be replaced anyway. The only real difference was paying the shop $50/pound for the R-12 (but I do get extra points in the "money pit" tread).  |
my god man, why don't you do the work yourself?? all the knowledge is here on the forum and it isn't that difficult to work on these cars. you probably make more money in the time you'd spend fixing it yourself?
