Hi All,

I'm on Larry's side of the fence with regard to the R134, my car (81 300D) was recently converted to R134 from R12, bascially what I've ended up with is an A/C that wishes it could/would blow cold. Having said this, it now seems my AC compressor is now making a serious grinding noise at certain RPMs, while I don't favor my compressor going on the fritz, if it should, it will be converted back to R12, basically at what ever expense I will incur in doing so. When checking the output temp at the vent, the R134 cools to about 56 degrees F (while driving), prior to the change, it would blow at about 47 degrees F. When you consider that I live in the south with the humidity running about 90 to 98% during the summer, the extra 9 degrees in differnce by all means affects the comfort level when motoring about.

I'm hot on the trail to return to R12 as quickly as possible, as in my opinion, it's where the comfort can be found.

Thanks,
jeric
