What does an A/C system charge with R-12 cost?
My E30's A/C blows only very slightly cool, so I would like to take it to get the system re-charged with R-12.
What does this normally cost?

Can you still get r12 in the US? Its been banned up here and replaced with r134a.
The system needs some work before it can be used though.2001 silver/Blk 325 cabby. SOLDOriginally posted by codyep3

There are places that still have quanities of it. It is good till used, when that happens it's strictly R134a.
Might want to consider converting to R134a and redoing the seals while your at it. r134 will allow you to self service and not worry about system leaks so much.Comment

Not familiar with Freeze 12, is that a trade mark name?Comment

freeze 12 works well. i used to use it in porsches all the time (134a conversions don't work very well in 911s because the condenser is so small) it seems to work best if you use 1 can of r-12 and 1 can of freeze12 in my experenceseien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

I've had 3 e30's that have been converted to r134...they never blew really that cold again.Comment

i believe my system has been converted. just before i bought the car. blows cold, and starts quickly. do it right the first time.Comment

done properly, r134a works fine.Comment

Get Duracool. Its cheaper, more simple and its much colder than any R134 conversion. I've seen 20f at the vents with 90f outside air temp.
