[s-cars] RE: R134a, etc.

[chris chambers]

Joel,

I found this link while pricing out AC compressors.

http://www.audiquattroparts.com/AC_retrokit.htm

It is a R12 to R134 retrofit kit comp-lete with presurized can and
instructions. I am no AC expert but I would call that company and see
if they can sell you a recharge kit.

Good luck

Chris
