READ!!! - r-134a a/c conversion in 20 minutes!

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

ok, went to auto-zone a couple of days ago, bought the r-134a retrofit kit (~$40), went home, let
the (very little) bit of freon out of my system, followed directions on box. fairly simple really,
fire up engine, put in 1 can 134, 1 can oil, then the rest of the cans of 134. 20 minutes later i
had working a/c. shut car off, sprayed soapy water on joints for a quick leak check (none visible).
i've been using it for the past 2 days, working so far. if it developes/has a leak i'll just get the
$20 can of r-134a stop leak and throw that in, followed by some $2 cans of r-134a, heheh.
honestly i think the oil included has a bit of the stop leak stuff in it already.
as far as all the questions you must have about having to change o-rings, seals, compressors, etc. i
dont know what to tell you. all i know is the crap works, and im using the hell out of it.
besides, the rieger looks alot better driving around with the windows up, heh.
