My car (1985 380SE) was in an accident a little while ago (I'm sure you all remember). Anyways, as part of the repair they converted my A/C to R-134a. It was done by Griffin Bros (the body shop outsources the A/C work) and while the guy who did the conversion wasn't around, I'm told they typically replace the valving, tubing, basically any rubber, oil, and freon. It blows real cold for now, but I've heard about conversions gone wrong (I'd have been pissed the shop didn't ask me first, only it didn't work at all before). If it blows real cold (as cold as any new car does, and colder than I remember this car doing when it worked about 7 years ago), does that mean the conversion was done right and I have nothing to worry about? Thanks, Richard
