Hi volks, The A/C retrofit question always seems to pop up at this time of year. Its Spring, go figure. I should remind everyone that VW does have a kit and proceedure to retrofit a R12- Vanagon to R134. I've been involved with three conversions and its not very expensive. I had a printout of the parts cost, damn if I can find it now, but with was about 300 dollars at 20% off suggested list. Figure in 2-3 hours labor and its done. I have a copy of the bulliten VW put out back in 95 on A/C retrofit. It's from '85 and up. The A/C compressor DOES NOT need to be replaced, a few o-rings, reciver drier and the compressor oil needs to be replaced. If anyone wants to know how well it works contact LiMBO prez Dale Ward. He's done both his buses. He tells me they work everybit as good as the old R-12. With freon costing upwards of 50bucks a pound and R134 is about 10 bucks a pound its cost effective on the long run. If anyone wants and copy of the bulliten send me a SASE to the address below. Put about 78 cents worth of postage on it. -- -Jim DiGennaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LiMBO, The Late Model Bus Organization, international zzzzzzzzzzz_ |E[__] [__]|[_]\\ | _ LiMBO | _ || =-( )---------( )--= '84 Wolfsburg Weekender James Digennaro, LiMBO's Editor and Web master. * 34 Summer St., Adams, MA 01220 ICQ# 5534528 LiMBO LINE: (413) 743-1814 * URL: http://www.bcn.net/~limbo/ 'Transporters By The Tunnel' - A fun camping event ' July 16th-18th ------------------------------------------------------------------------
