Hi there, have a 96 lumina sedan where the air conditioning has slowly stopped working. my garage indicated that it's likely a leak & they could fix it & recharge, but that would use the "enviromentally unsafe" fluid (R12 I think they called it).
I'm interested in filling the system (not necessarily fixing the leak which could be > $1000) with something that has zero (or next to it) enviromental impact. Been to the EPA website - all very confusing.
I'm willing to take a hit in efficiency - does't have to be as cold as it used to be - I'd just like something NOT harmful to the environment. Ideally something I can just "pour in", is NOT bad, and will work, even it not as well as it used to.
Am I dreaming???
