.... a good R12 replacement is Freeze 12. A buddy of mine just used this in his airplane A/C and he said it worked great on his trip to Mexico last weekend.

Freeze 12 is 80% 134a (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) It is a blend, 80% HFC-134a and 20% HCFC-142b.

A/C is apersonal preference type of option, some love it, others will hate it.

I bought my first 914 7 years ago, a 74 2.0, in which the PO had installed a VPC unit. At the time I bought the car, the compressor was not working so I was considering repairing it.

I never did! I found that even in St. Louis where day time temperatures in the summers can get to 100+ with 85% humidity, just having the top off was enough for me. I never used it, never missed not having it.

On a side note, possibly due to how the PO had the A/C installed, the foward passenger floor began to rust thru from
an un-detected leak around one of the hoses feeding the
under dash unit.

Apparently this blend worked out well as he did not see the high side pressures found with 134a.
