another toyota from P.R.K
With the vast array of tradesmen here, I'm hoping to pick up some recharging \ retrofit info.
The system is factory toyota r12 based.
The issue's are as follows...
I see the possibility of finding reclaimed r12 to recharge the setup.
Internet search, everything goes to r134 retrofit gas.
I think the r12 seems better, as it seems to run colder.
Question 1
Any reason not to use r 12 (besides cost?)
I have been told contradictory info on what to replace, ie compressor,high side valve, drier ect.
Question 2
Do I need a new drier for sure?
What's the minimum I need to replace ?
I see the need to clean the system out before charging,
I have oem o ring kits for the lineset.
But Before I take it to a shop to purge and charge it, I hope to know the skinny first.
What ya got ibb?
Thanx in advance!
