How many thousands did you spend to do this? Two? That will buy you nearly a few hundred pounds of R12. Will you actually be driving that car in 10 years? 20 years? Probably not, but maybe. A 30lb tank of R12 would last that car pretty much until you and I are not able to drive anymore.

Have not really had the need to measure the temperature. At least as cold as my W140's A/C if not colder. With the temp set to 22 on the wheel the car cools as quickly as my W140 even after sitting in the sun (both of my cars are black).
I have owned the car for about 7 years and plan on keeping it for a very long time. Recharging year after year and wondering if my A/C was going to make it though the summer was getting quite old. The system in the car was 27 years old and really needed replacement.
The cost was more reasonable than I expected but the figure is between myself and my mechanic. If I had known I would have seen this level of improvement from an overhaul of this level I would have had it done 7 years ago.
When you consider the cost think of how much it costs to diagnose and repair a system every few years versus doing it right and having a better performing more reliable system. While some people have the false sense of savings by doing their own work how much is your time worth?
