It was already converted when I got the car. I think my compressor is shot though.

Does it feel any different than how the ac is with the stock refridgerant?

Couldn't tell you. My compressor squeals like hell when i turn it on so i never run it. Plus i never had it when it was charged with the R14.

I need to join your club. My E30 hasn't had A/C since i bought it, which was 4 years ago. It was Already converted to R134 so i think i need a new compressor.

I had fresh r12 when I had my m20 in there 4 years ago. The compressor blew out and I didn't know how to get around it, bought a compressor from Terry (Qukmbr) but never installed it, for fear of leaking again. R12 was way cooler, I will say that but r134 is fine.

Welcome to the club. I even turn it on at night just because, now I can.

Yuuup, that's what I'm doing. ;D

I'm going to try to tension my belt a little more. How do i know if the compressor is shot? Right now mine sqeals when i turn it on. Don't know if it's belt or compressor related.

Sounds like your compressor is out of hydraulic fluid, which means it's no bueno.

I have r134a in mine and it blows stone cold !!!! I have to turn the vents away because it gets so damn cold it makes my knuckles hurt lol.

Does the r134 ac look different than the r12 ? I think the po did the swap in mine since my ac is ice cold but still it could be a charged r12

The fittings are different. Easy to find out, Google a pic, take the cap off, and compare.

I just recently achieved my first cold a/c in an e30 after 8 years and 4 e30s. WHAT'S UP CALIFORNIA HEAT!?!?!?!?!

I haven't had ac in an e30 in almost 20 years but now I feel like reinstalling. It's nice to be able to cruise around comfortably.

E30 and ac. What's going on in this world lol

Do your m3's not have ac ?? :crazy:

[MrBurgundy]

It's the beginning of the end.

The worst was when I was a weed delivery guy for a summer, and I had no a/c and my sunroof flew off on the freeway one night. I had half a tan body, a seat soaked with butt sweat and an unlimited supply of mediocre weed.
