[s-cars] AC conversion

[Jack Gagnon]

I need some advice here.


The AC in my 92 S4 is not working.  I had my local mechanic check the system
over and they tell me there are no leaks and I need a re-charge of R-12
(2.25 lbs) at a rate of $90/lb.

First of all, I don't understand why it is all gone if it has no leaks?  I
have owned the car for 5 yrs now without a re-charge.  The system was
re-charged just before purchasing and all has been well except until
recently.

Second, they tell me there is no way to conver the system to R134.  They
tell me it can't be converted becouse there is no low side port. Is this
really true?

Am I better off to shell out $200+ on R-12 or should I, can I pursue a 134
conversion.

Thanks for any input.

Jack
