A/C r134a conversion?

[///Bimmerfan]

I bought a kit to convert r12 to r134a but the high side adapter didn't fit the high side on the car does anyone know of one that will fit on the e30?

[b*saint]

The one that came in the kit, too big or too small?

you need this and a schrader valve

you can get one from a spare tire if worse comes to worse.

its pretty fucking rediculous how hard it is to get a schrader valve. My tip is to go to a tire store.

What is the black thing called, and how does this work?

thats where you get the schrader valve out of. get a small flat head and unscrew it out. You also have a schrader valve in the factory fill port.

Wait I screwed up I meant the high side adapter doesn't fit the high side on the car. sorry

are you redoing your whole system? I would just slap on the adaptor on the low side and fill.

I did that but it was throwing out hot air still so I went to get it evacuated but the high side adapter wouldn't fit so we couldn't evacuate both sides.

anyone have an idea on what to do?

There is another kit like you have in the picture that has a few more different size adapters. I think I found it at autozone. Went through the same thing with the kid's car until I found the larger kit. You are suppose to change the dryer also when you convert to r134A.

Ok, you can get an adapter from somewhere. I know because I have one on my car. I swear I got it from the dealer, but can't find the part number for the life of me.
I've had mine converted for so long.
Maybe try to call the dealer?

Thought most retro kits come with new o rings? Thought the R134 oil doesn't work with R12 oil (can't remember the types off the top of my head).

My A/C needs to be charged and still has R12 in it.

I replaced the o rings on my dryer I just need the one adapter.
