My car has the dealership installed VPC AC. I purchased the car 5 months ago and the AC doesn’t blow cold. I have no history on it. Still had a little pressure in the system. I’m thinking of charging it with R134. Has anyone done this and know how if it will work and how much I should try to put in the system?

It's more work but replacing the compressor with a modern Sanden is worth it.
The r12 oil + r134 = gel... so no good. You will need to flush out all the old oil from the whole system then use the hybrid swap over oil. New dryer but it's a generic size so that's easy. The rest of the hard parts will work fine. The fittings will be r12 so you will have to buy a set of ac gauges and do it yourself or buy the adapter fittings to get a shop to do it. Refill is done best by pressures. You will also need to apply vacuum to the system before fill to remove the air and moisture to get the best result. Having a local hose place make new hoses will be a couple bills, but they'll last decades. I don't know if old hose will play nicely with r134 and the oil. |
