jack up the corner so that the opening of the radiator/ reservoir is the highest point of the car

Alright let me try that cause I tried doing it on my driveway but don't think the drive way was steep enough. Thanks

I have. but it's costly.

you are better off fixing your current system

But using r134a in the current system right?

People here use r414b and its cold as hell supposedly.


Bought this Chinese recaro today.

warm the car
raise the front of the car up 2 feet and bleed it.
i've bleed out over 50 m20s this way and never had an issue.

What worked really well was first obviously putting the heater on blast and letting it fully warm up while adding coolant to keep it on the full line, then bleeding and squeezing the rad hoses to all the little air bubbles come out.
I also jacked up the car in the front and it worked great! Takes a little bit of time of yore doing it for the first time but it's really not too bad!

You can't run R134 in an R12 system. You have to change the oil in the compressor, the condenser, and all the seals. R134 is bad stuff, if there is any moisture in the system, it turns into acid and eats the system from the inside out (see air conditioning black death) The best way to go seems to be with R12E. Its an environmentally safe R12 compatible refrigerant that is propane based (has a higher flashpoint than R134) This is what I will run in mine whenever I get around to replacing the drier with the leaking sensor and I pick up a vacuum pump. The only trick with R12E is that you have to go by weight rather than pressure. You need less of it than either R12 or R134.
