I only completed my retrofit and recharge with R134a one week ago.
I hope I won't have to recharge it for at least several years, after
having rebuilt the a/c system. The systems are not supposed to leak
at all.
No, I did not replace any hoses.

I forgot to mention in my original post of May 8th, that
in the retro kit from vw, it specified '85 to '92 transporter/vanagon,
1350 grams of R134a. (I don't know about earlier years.)
