I don't even want to think about AC..


I have r134 in mine, and on the upper 60 degree days lately, it's been nice and cool. But I know good and well on the really hot days in the suummer it will be all but useless. 134 just don't cut it in a lot of vehicles.

My father, a helo pilot/mechanic and an automotive tech in the 60's, been AC certified longer than many of us have been alive, swears some of the r-12 alternatives are a better deal than r-134.
He's used them in older VW's with good success(COLD!) and they seem to still be cooling years later. I personaly have read all sorts of nasty stuff about the different types of *fake* r-12 there is out there and the thought bothers me. However I may give in at some point.

I'm just glad I have a sun roof... yay for vintilation..


Too answer the questions, as others have, autozone, advance auto, parts america, napa, etc, etc. Might take some calling, not all stores have it, but some will. Make SURE the leak is gone first, or your tossing money away.
