I have a 1984 vanagon with R12 and still runs great!.  I did some
work on it in 1992 but nothing since.  Unless you count the time
the hose vibrated loose from the compressor and dumped all freon.
I now make sure the fitting is tight every time I "get under the
hood".  And we all know that averages at least once a month. :)

don't want, to impress people they don't like.
