R134a is better than R12 for one simple reason... today, I decided that my AC sucked, and I wanted to do something about it. I went to Pep Boys and spent $30 on a recharge kit... not quite blowing frost out like GM's AC, but it's muuuuuch colder. In fact, I can stop the car and sit at a light, without checking to see if the AC is working. It's real easy, you just hook up a pressure gauge on a slip fitting to the low pressure side, take a reading and add the refrigerant/oil mixture as needed. The kit I bought was cheesy, but it worked fine. Be sure to read the directions on the CAN... I oopsed and didn't realize that you needed to hold it upside down, but it turned out alright anyway. :) -kit, going to church tomorrow and NOT sweating :) 97 m3/4 w/ colder AC Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2001 11:35:57 -0700 From: "Kit Wetzler" Subject: r134a kit I've received a few questions about the kit I used to recharge my AC.
