in the e34 it doesn't work but probably just needs a recharge.  will be doing that for the summer.  i took my e30s with no AC on many summer road trips and it sucked balls to sit in a pool of sweat. for everyday driving its fine.

Heard that

[need4speed1299]

Btw, r12 > r134a. Its a thicker gas and blows snow out the vents. Its hard to find, but its out there...

[jockhater2]

1982 bmw yes.

1991 jetta no. I removed it in place for a 2nd alternator

[StewCrew]

Can I vote both yes and rage drifting, please?

[KaiserRolls]

NO

you can only vote ONCE

make it count

I'm in for rage drifing

[straight6pwr]

looks like my late model had r134a from the factory, so hopefully the $30 recharge kit will solve this issue and put me in the 'no shweaty balls' category

[damnboy037]

No on all three!

I used "Freeze 12" as an R12 substitute on my Camry before it was legal to sell refrigerant at parts stores (Amazon wouldnt allow shipping to WI, I ended up getting some from out of state)  That was 3 years ago. It still works extremely well. You should have great results with it as long as you do it right.

Good to know! What I plan on using in my car when I redo the A/C.

Hell yes to working a/c on the e36, but I voted rage drifting, no fucks given, yolo, brolo, etc.

from what i read, its just about not putting too much refrigerant in (allowing the pressure to get too high). should be pretty easy.

Well, the refrigerant went somewhere.. so there is obviously a leak. Unless you vented the system of course.

[straight6pwr]

after 20 years, even a miniscule leak would result in this, yes.

[jc43089]

No A/C here, took it out when rebuilding and it's still in the basement.  Just sweating on the black leather...

[bimmer82]

I love getting outta my car with a sweat stain on my back and ass..  

no AC no PS no Clutch fan...

[patsbimmer1]

The car came with no belt so I was concerned the compressor was seized. Much to my surprise I threw a belt on her on Tuesday during my lunch and the ac works fine!

[Jdesign]

My Ac works great! Top down, A/C on Blast!

[Narcosis]

Yes.  It'd be hard to take summer drives without A/C.

AC on my E30 would work if not for a leak in the system somewhere.  Seems like it's in the low side fitting.  Can't do anything with it now as I tried to put REDTEK refrigerant into it and now no AC shop will touch it.  Don't know how to work on AC systems myself.
