So its time I convert to r134a right? So the story goes I installed the PAG oil and went to change the fittings on my rusty but still very functional 1986 A2 golf . Equipped with its factory a/c system I found both the low side and high side lines have the same size fittings???? This can't be right can it? That would make it impossible to recharge the system with 2 low side fitting conversions. One fitting is located on passenger side right behind right front strut tower at the firewall and the other fitting is located on driver side upper rad next to the pressure switches. They both have low side line valves that I can't seem to hook up to the r134a machine. That said, was there supposed to be a different fitting somewhere else that perhaps was bypassed over the years? I don't own a Bently for this one and can't seem to find any diagrams in my online searches thus far. In short after work I hooked up the machine via the low side fitting only and of course it didn't take the charge. Am I missing something? Or is it off to the not so local boneyard to find another highside line? Any offerings would be appreciated
Thanks Tristen
