If ya feel like a nice drive in the country I can regas it for you with r 12 A. It is a lot more effecient gas than R134A. You use about half the gas to get the same result. New falcon for example take around 850 grams of R 134a and about 400 to 500 of R12A. I would stay away from R12 even though it is a better gas than R12 A Its getting real hard to find. I'm actually VERY surprised any one still has some. The other good thing with R12A is if you have a old r12 system you don't need to change the o'ring and oil. they are compatible unlike R12 and R134A. You just need to get evacuated and re gassed.

Hi all,

Righto - I reckon my R32 needs a regas, and maybe a check for leaks. This thread is a bit aged, but it's the topic that I'm interested so I'll bump it.

Which businesses are the ones to go to for RB26 aircon service these days?

Cheers!

Mike

If there is no gas in the system, then obviously it hasn't been used which means there was nothing to lubricate the A/C seals. The seals have probably dried up now and couldn't hold gas anyway. You're looking at regas, maybe new seals and possibly a new condenser depending on when the last time it was used.

R32's originally took R12 gas which has been illegal for while, R34's most likely have R134A or R14A I can't remember which. R12 systems either need to be retrofitted to R134A http://www.epa.gov/ozone/title6/609/technicians/retrguid.html or I believe there is a refrigerant is compatible with R12 systems but not as originally effective as R12

You know what I did in the end - took it to K-Mart Tyre and Auto Service! I had a $50 voucher, so I spoke to Rob at our local KTAS and he said that their staff don't do a/c but they have a subcontractor that travels about and does all of the a/c work for their franchises. I trusted him when he said that their subbie is very good (Rob's a very no-nonsense Scottish mechanic) so I had their bloke look at it, and he sorted it out first time. He identified which seals were leaking and re-gassed it on the first visit. He nailed it too - it's running very well. If there are any further leaks their man will charge for the repair of the leaks but not the necessary re-gas, which I think is pretty reasonable.

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
