My airconditioning now blows hot air.

took it to a referred mechanic this morning. He claims my 91 uses the old system (R12?) and he needs to convert it to the new one.

Then he would check if the compressor is ok. if not, i would have to fix the compressor.

so basically, he claims he can't diagnose the hot air problem until after he converts it....

does that sound right to any of you?

thanks - Noela

 

yeah, 89-92 had R12
93-94 had R134a

R12 is generally considered better for cooling, but it's not enviromentally safe
The conversion kits I've seen are pretty simple and shouldn't be a big deal

 

sounds about right..compressor will run if there's freon in the system. since the system is out of freon it needs a recharge. a recharge of R12 is not really feasible this day and age it'll need a R134a conversion.

 

its funny how they got rid of R12 cause its no environmentally safe, but they say R134 is environmentally safe but you cant poor it on the ground, you must transfer it to a proper disposal

 

save money and do the conversion urself.go to a local napa/auto parts store..the kit will cost half of what ur going to pay.

 

where do i get some instructions....?

thanks for the idea.
