Thanks to all who responded - far too many to address individually. While it was not my intent to get into a political discussion, I can see where there are parallels. But you have to admit, at first blush who could make a connection between A/C Refrigerants and Illegal Immigration?!?

At any rate, my query was simply to educate myself as to whether the conversion was possible and if anyone had performed it before; pros, cons, hurdles, etc. I plan to visit the A/C Shop this week to look over their facilities, methods, etc. Armed with some thoughts presented here, I can now speak with confidence as to possibly 'upgrading' the system to R134a. I do not have to change from R12; simply wanted to ask the question here. All things being equal, I would prefer to stay with R12 for reasons stated in one or two of the responses; i.e.: cooler air output.

Thanks again guys for the input and thoughts. It was quite helpful to me. I'll let you all know how it turns out, one way or another, when I get my 240D 'up to snuff'.

Cheers,
Jeff
