My stupid car doesn't have a sticker. The FSM CD says 7.5 cans of "Refrigerant Bottle R12," which it later says is approximately half a liter. The column next to "126" where it says (filling) "kg" is blank. It tells you to check the car sticker. What gives??!?! Didn't these guys know how much they put in, or did it vary from unit to unit or operator (Horst or Erheardt)???

Certainly 7.5 12-oz cans (regular baby R12) would be WAY too much.

Since I don't have a scale, I just use a thermocouple in the dash vent and keep adding until it quits getting colder (leave all doors wiiiiide open). YMMV.
