You should be able to find everything between AutoZone and WalMart.
This will be all you need since your system still works. Just recharge.
1) Turn on the car and set your A/C to maximum (including blower).
2) Shake can of Stop Leak.
3) Connect hose to can (turn valve all the way out before connecting).
4) Connect hose to silver canister thing.
5) Turn valve IN till it stops and then back it OUT.
6) Once the can is empty. Close valve and release from car. Then release can (watch out there will still be pressure).
7) Do all steps again for the can of R-134a.
Ive done this to at least 10 vehicles and Ive even converted R12 systems to R-134a. Its mush easier than it sounds, just try it, Ill answer any other questions you might have.
* Make sure the can says it has at least 2 ounces of PAG oil. 13 ounces total.
** Make sure you get the brand "Stop Leak", not just a can that has a stop leak in it.
Ill do a write up soon, since alot of ppl need it. Unless some @sshole reads this and beats me to it :P

first try with bleeding your system
And do not bleed out the system. Freon doesnt lose energy, the system just loses freon.Last edited by nimrod.sixty9; 02-27-2008, 02:43 AM.sigpic

Our cars are most certainly are 134a. I believe anything 92' and up is 134a.
Like I said, Ill do a more thorough write up with pics as soon as I can. Ill also do a r12 conversion with it.sigpic
