Looks like the stats you have are in conflict with what Stan Pittman reports. He does this for a living and since 1997(8 years) has had no come backs at his shop. His comment is on page 1 of 2.
As Stan said, it's all about doing it correctly. I would venture to say that many R-12 -> R-134a conversions are not "by the book" and I'd have to wonder if those "200 converions" were REALLY done "by the book".
We argue about oil, coolant and refrigerant. I'm out of this one.
What's next?....wiper blades?
