He is right.
Not putting down the others. But!!
dc88168--San Francisco--they really don't know what HOT is.
Matt L don't know where he is from. And yes if done correctly it will last a long time.
But the W123 will work better with R12 than R134A. My daughters 240D is R12 and it cooled better than the 300TD converted to R134A ( converted correctly). After 1.5 years the brand new compressor failed and I converted back to R12. It cools much better.
Western PA. You might get away with R134a without much of a problem.
