Has anyone had their Vanagon's a/c professionally
converted (as in above link) from R12 to R134 and how
much should it cost?
My Vanagon's A/c used to work well, now it does not
blow cold at all. I'm now in Phoenix, AZ so the van is
virtually unusable from May till October because of
this since its 100+ degrees every day.
Whan I bought my van the previous owner had had the
a/c recharged at a VW dealer and it cost $450. Thats
why I would like to convert to R134, I figure the cost
of frean will kill me.

PS. I just had the a/c repaired in my 1995 Mercury
Sable and it cost $1900, mostly in labor since they
had to remove the dash and steering column to get to
it.
