Hello all,  I have an 86 Westy, and I've worked hard replacing o-rings and
dryer, and checking the hoses....  I think the AC system is sound.  I'm all
ready to have a VW mechanic and friend pump it down for me.  The question I
have is how much Ester oil, and refrigerant the 86 needs...  It has a
Sanden-508 compressor.  I've gone to the Sanden web site and they say
roughtly 5 percent less than with R-12.  If I've done the math right, that's
about 47 ounces.  Plus 3.3 ounces of oil.  I'd appreciate a few words of
advice!  I want to make sure I get it right the first time!  Thanks in
advance!
