<P>Aren't you supposed to turn on the AC once a week to keep it lubricated... </P>
<P>Max Performance recommends an AC shop in Costa Mesa, think its called Steves AC, and they recommend not converting to r134 because the vanagon is too big (I'm in Southern California...). They can still get R12... </P>
<P>When I was in Florida, a volkswagon mechanic in Broward County (next to Miami-Dade) said he used Freeze 12... I think they were on biscayne highway.. but I forget... </P>
<P>I spoke with Ken Wilford and he said he's used Freeze 12 for a while and doesn't have a problem with it... He's in New Jersey... </P>
<P>Well, I'm sold on using Freeze 12... If it can work well in a muggy area.. then it should be no problem in cali... and the replacement cost is better than R12... Just that licence thing is all, you have to get a licence... which you can get over the web... </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Last time I charged my AC the freon lasted only 6 months. The service people
<DIV></DIV>&gt;said this was typical. Is this the experience of you all or is something
<DIV></DIV>&gt;wrong that needs fixing.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;It seems to me that a freon charged up system should last for years.
