  4. Who can get R12?

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    1) Best bet is to get someone to do it for you

    2) Check for R12 (more or less) - look for one of the service ports (threaded-may still have plastic cap on it), depress schrader valve with LONG screwdriver briefly and see if there is still pressure in system (better yet-hook up a set of gauges) (see #1)

    3) To Flush: cheapest way- Flush Gun, better way, update flush tool or machine (see #1)

     

     

    HAHA.. Cool. Thanks. I guess I just need to start calling some shops to see if they can check/evac the system.

    The question is: "Is there any R12 left in the system?".

    If yes, it should go to a shop w/R12 recovery equipment and have it taken out first.

    If no, just go ahead and open the system, flush, install new components, then have it evacuated and charged w/R134a

     

    Ok, so how do I open the system? And how do I flush the system?

     

    Edit: The better question is how do I find out if there is any R12 left in the system?

    I have to imagine switching is cheaper.

     

    Back when we still had some R12 left, we sold the last of it at something like 20x the "old" retail.

     

    How much are you finding the swap kits for? They didn't used to be that insane.

     

    I haven't found swap kits, but from what I'm reading, most every component needs to be replaced because if you don't, the R134A doesn't work well.

    It's a CRX... just put the windows down.

     

    2-60 air is fine when you're cruising down the highway. It doesn't work well when driving in stop and go traffic. I walked into work a couple days last week with my shirt completely soaked from sweat and it's only a 9 mile drive. I just figured if I can get this done fairly inexpensively, then I'd do it.

    Don't even bother, the cost of the hard to attain R12 will outweight the changeover cost to 134a. Have you remedied the problem

    that caused you to lose your charge in the first place? Do you have a new drier ready to install for either charge? If you answer no to either of these questions, you're not ready to go yet.

     

    I just bought the car in March. I don't know if it leaked out or if it was evacuated when the engine was rebuilt last summer. I do not have a new drier. How or where would I obtain one for this car?

    The A/C in my CRX doesn't work. It just blows hot air. I've been doing some research and it looks very costly to switch the system over to R134A. I heard that R12 is attainable by someone who is licensed to do so. I don't want to drop a ton of money in this beater, so I think recharging with R12 is the way to go, if it's possible. So, does anyone know who can do this and roughly what it might cost to have it recharged with R12?

  15. Need some opinions on schools

    Just wanting some first-hand experience on a couple schools. We are trying to stay in the Canal Winchester school district, but may have to consider a couple others.

     

    Would like thoughts/opinions/reviews on:

     

    Pickerington and Bloom Carroll

     

    Thanks!

    The g/f and I were watching the news last night and they were talking about this. The caption at the bottom of the screen when they were showing his apology was "Weiner Mess". We were cracking up.
