System was of course as usual not that good, and leaky.
- Compressor has seized up. I'm going to get a reman or junkyard one, Old piston york. Cheaper/better replacements? I've seen a physical adapter for a new style compressor, but do hoses fit? new location of charging ports???
2.Volvo has the official r134a upgrade kit, with new hoses and evaporator (!!!!?? would have thought condensor would be the big upgrade) and accumulator. $200 good deal, but those components might not need to be replaced. Should I really bother? (can't pressure test because compressor is leaking)
- System needs to get cold FAST. Going to add an aux fan to the condenser, also r134a just isn't that good, I was thinking about replacements, like HC, which I've heard are "too good" and end up freezing over the evap (heh, I don't mind, car will be home by then). What refrigerants really outperform r134a? (I have a case of it already, if it's not that much, forget it) I don't care to debate the "downsides" of HC, just want to know if it's worth the money for cooling power.
Thanks all.
