[Vwdiesel] Rabbit AC conversion

[Craig Osborn]

Bob,
Great web page -- THANKS.

A few questions --
Was the compressor that you purchased a VW compressor?
Was the dryer a VW dryer or did you have to buy a non-VW because you needed
a "port" to plug in the cutoff switch?
AND
My car had a poor quality attempt at 134 conversion by the previous owner (I
think that is why I have problems because I suspect that he didn't evacuate
the system and I may have a mix of refrigerants) the service fittings are in
the engine compartment -----  I am curious as to why your low side service
valve is in the interior?
