It is possible to convert an R12 System to 134a, however some (not all) systems need some retrofitting. It would be best to consult your local manufacturer dealer about which parts may need to be changed. Some auto parts stores may also know. Keep in mind that the info is usually free, you're under no obligation to buy from any particular store.

What type freon to use in a ford windstar 1995 van?

R-134A


When recovering freon 134a and then recharging is any freon lost?

yes freon is lost, and take into account that along with the gas in a/c, there is a/c oil as well this oil is needed to transport the gas thru the system. so if you dumped the gas and refilled with out the oil, the a/c still is not going to work


How do you refill a 1988 Chevy van with freon?

Unfortunately, if the air conditioning system is factory original and has not been converted to use the new R-134a refrigerant, you cannot refill the system yourself. R-12 refrigerant is the old stuff, it must be charged by a professional and will be very expensive. They quit making it almost 15 years ago. Depending on your location is could cost upwards of $300 to get it recharged, and if the system is low then you probably have a leak somewhere so that might be $300 out the proverbial window. If you plan on keeping the van, I would suggest that you convert the system to R-134a. A local air conditioning shop can do this for you. I will cost more than just a refill of R-12, but in the long run, it will be much cheaper as the refrigerant is MUCH less expensive should a leak develop.


Location for adding freon 1989 beretta?

before 1996 vehicles used R-12 which is now illegal to buy except for use in automobile shops. You must now take a test on R-12 and R-134a to be able to handle R-12. DO NOT ASSUME you can use R-134a with R-12 as this will ruin the A/C system on a R-12 system i am a certified ford automotive tech. i would just like wanting to know where i could find the low side adapter to charge the system. i am ac cetified good guy
