I had to replace my condenser and have my car charged up. In Ontario R12 is not legal for use. The shop that does my heat/AC work is topnotch and has never led me astray in the 10 years I have dealt with them. They only do heat and AC work, on anything that moves. I spoke with Doug about the issues that I have read about on this site and have been reassured that if it is done properly it is not a problem. He got my new condenser, a new dryer, cleaned one switch and replaced another, checked the system for leaks, vacuumed it and then charged it. To date it has worked very well, other than the fact that I needed to replace 4 of my vacuum pods. We have had two periods of extreme humidity with temps in the low to mid 40's, and it worked as well as my Jetta, and better than my Dodge. Perhaps some of the problem systems have not been properly gone over, OR I'm just living life right and mine works.(for now?) Andy
