Poll: What do Most People Do When their R12 Runs Low

[Geraint Lloyd]

I went to r134a with the 200 TQA. The compressor blew up quite spectacularly
next to Place Jacques Cartier so I had to get the system it stripped and
flushed anyway. The conversion was thus, just part of the process ad I just
don't have the kit to do that myself.

I use Alex Autombile on Papineau and St Gregoire.

I do have a bit of a seep from the rebuilt compressor though, so am
considering the Duracool or envirosafe options since I gather that the 134a
makes the compressor work quite hard. It certainly sounds like it is earning
its keep. I just have to figure out how to get the current stuff out (and
disposed of) and the new stuff in.

Those who have older Audis will eventually reach the day when their AC is
feeling not as cold as they want it.  I'm wondering what people do mostly.
The choices that I can think of are:

1.) Live with it...Not so bad where I am, in Montreal, or the anywhere
north...can't imagine this is an option in Arizona...

2.) Spend $400 and Do the R134 conversion...live with the 20% reduction in
efficiency or any other problems the conversion entails

3.) Go to Mexico and get an R12 fillup, or obtain R12 in some other way

4.) Some other option (specify)


Thanks for the Information
