RE: R-134a Specs Request ('88 5KS)

["Lewis, Gary M" <Gary.Lewis@West.Boeing.com>]

I got it.  Looked at lunch at my buddies 85 5kw.  I've got to get a Bently.
It is just that I use Mike Rooney, my mechanic so much, and he's got every
Bently ever made for Audi's.  He in the process of moving his shop, and I
can't get to the Bently's (or Mike himself).

Thanks so much Rex.  I'll post comments after I finish this tonight...
