91GranSport Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 My A/C has been working fine since I recharged it, and it is so frikking cold you gotta turn it off after a while. Good stuff dude, you gotta love air conditioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPdriver1986 Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 91 Gransport did you use a leak sealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91GranSport Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 No, I didn't. I'm not sure whether or not RedTek has a leak sealer built in. I have a very minor leak at one of the pressure nipples. My A/C refrigerant level was almost zero, I filled it up completely with RedTek. I know that RedTek does have a built in oil lubricant for the compressor but I'm not sure whether or not it has a leak sealer. Either way, I didn't use a separate leak sealer and it's been over a year since I fully recharged my A/C. It still works great, damn cold on these hot and humid days. 91 Gransport did you use a leak sealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeoZ34 Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Did you buy a new compressor, or just put the R134a refrigerant filler in w/ the R12 compressor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPdriver1986 Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 No I didn't buy a new compressor. The conversion said you just need to have the R-12 freon evacuated out of system. It uses Ester oil so the r-12 oil does not mix and doesn't form into sludge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeoZ34 Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Well damn, I replaced my compressor for nuthin! But, the motor was out, so I guess its better than if I did it when it was in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
