Re: [doc] AC RE-GASSED

["Phill Wright" <psw@xxxxxxxx>]

Hiya,

I had mine regassed with R413a - ISCEON 49 (R-413A) this is the 
direct drop-in replacement for the old R12, no mods needed, job cost 
55 quid, all-in including a full pressure/leak test by our local 
aircon guy - even calls out and does it on yer drive for that! 

cheers

is banned now as it contains cfc gas that wrecks the ozone layer.  I 
had mine retrofitted to take the new style R134A Gas that all modern 
cars take.  Some say that it is not as cold as R12 and does not last 
aslong but I was using mine yesterday and it was bloody cold I can 
tell you!! (The more you use it the longer it lasts amazingly enough)

involves draining all the remaining R12 out of the system then 
refilling with R134A and some oil for the compressor and then adding 
two new quick connectors for future refills.  All this cost me £150 
in Belfast which included a full leak test.

replacement DO IT YOURSELF kits from the like of Halfords then go 
with the retrofitt.  If you want the R12 then just ask the garage as 
they may have some lying about, but just remember that you will 
someday have to get the R134A as R12 will be unavailable in a few 
years when stocks run out.

I get asked by the garage where is the connection to do this, should 
they use a certain product and what should be the approximate cost?
