Within the last month I bought from the original owner a 89 Cherokee. The AC
had required recharging frequently over the years and her mechanic no longer
had r12. I evacuated the systen and put in 2 cans of R134 one containing
conditioner and compatable oil and it's working fine sofar. I can tell where
it's been leaking because there was a oil/dirt build up around a fitting. I've
refilled older r12 systems with r134 a few times on VW's and have found if the
system was sound and just low on refigerant that it would work well.

It might be if your domain is in Norway and your local laws allow
freon sales. You'd need a set of guages. Probably a good idea to
find and fix the leak first.

Maybe not... I had our '92 Volvo converted, and it was only $175 INCLUDING the
gen-u-wine Volvo parts kit for the conversion... it was going to be at least
that to recharge it with Freon, due to the cost of the stuff.

Wrong! R-402A or FR-12 is a direct replacement.
