I need to replace the condenser in my 300SD, so I'm thinking of going with the newer one for better cooling. I then saw someone say that you can use R134a with the newer condenser. Is this correct? What would be the consequences of doing so? Would I break anything? I don't think that I'd ever be dialing the car below 75° F, and we only have nasty heat here in New England for a few months, though I would want the car to keep at the above mentioned temperature during those months. I know that I can get a license to buy R12 for $25 after taking a test, but I don't know how soon I'll have time to study that. I also have a can of R134a that our newer cars don't need, and it would be nice to just use it on this. I believe that that can already has oil in it as well.
