I've recharged it and it still does not do the job. I would like to replace all the air conditioner parts with parts made to support R134A. My idea is to replace everything needed for R134A and have a professional lube and charge it. Can someone tell me what parts I need to replace in order to make my AC R134A compliant? Do I need to get into the dash, because that's a ****? (replaced my fan motor earlier this year). Thanks, Mike

If so, it could mean you need to replace the fan clutch. Easy job. 4 bolts to remove. Not costly about $40 US. Let me know.

[right][snapback]15416[/snapback][/right] You have never replaced a 240 blower motor have you? It takes about 4 to 5 hours and have to remove a bunch of the dash to replace.

It does take forever... I need to have the AC checked out then decide what to replace. After getting some input from the forums, it doesn't sound like too bad of a job. Thanks,
