Hello All,

I am sure this issue has been address before but I am hoping for an
abbreviated simple explanation.

I have an 88 Auto Vanagon, the AC just blows air but does not get cold at
all. By accident when I first got the van I opened the blue release valve
connected to the compressor in the engine thinking that is was a way to
bleed the coolant system, stupid me.

Anyway I am wondering what the the process is for converting it to 134A? Can
I do it or do I need a certified technician to do this? If so how much time
should it take so I have an idea of costs...

Also I purchased a product from Target
http://www.id-usa.com/product.asp?CID=7&PID=226, the item is not listed in
their website but this is companies site, and the actual product is this...

I am wondering if this can be used in the van? Has anyone ever used it?

Thanks,
