There's no arguing going on, they're trying to prove to you that R12 runs circles around 134a anyday.

It is conclusive that R12 performs better in a w123 simply because the system was designed specifically and exclusively for R12.

R12 doesn't harm the environment when removed properly with a recovery machine. If that is what you are worried about think about how many people buy the 123a recharge kit at Walmart, use half the can, and empty the rest of the refrigerant into the air like nothing happened.

Why not just try propane for kicks.




W123's are just older systems that have their quirks. IMO the problem is the volumetric/pressure capacity of the compressor at idle. I notice a slow drop in temperature after being idle, it takes like 5 mins or so. I don't know the temperatures off hand but I'll check sometime tomorrow.

Honestly, I keep a slight foot on the gas idling for a while for some cold air (in neutral of course)

79 Mercy, sorry I jacked your thread with my opinions. Hope this helped.
