In the report I read, one gas leaves faster in proportion to the other and you end up with the wrong mix of coolant/lubricant and then the damage starts and the cooling decreases. I don't have the article I read but none of the new blends were recommended due to this problem. Back when I drove an Escort, I HAD to find good technicians in just about every automotive discipline. My air conditioner guy used to have to 'service' my piece of shit Escort on a regular basis. My '92 Corolla Wagon finally required service at about 180,000 miles. He said 'Stick with R 12' He got me a new Denso compressor and I'm cold as ice again. If you have R12 stick with it....would be my advice... |

Have a choice between recharging ac with R134 or Dura-cool propane/butane blend. Have heard that people have had very good results with Dura-cool, and I think it would only cost about $35 to recharge system with it, using my existing R134 gauge set. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with AC except a small leak, won't know for sure until I try recharging. Opinion? Tnx, Geronimo |
