Converting R12 to R134a on 1992 Honda Accord
Does anyone have experience converting their R12 system to R134a ?
I saw that interdynamics (www.id-usa.com) has a kit. Does this kit work..
anything to look out for etc.
All help is appreciated on this matter.

Hi,
does the kit contain? Most important is purging the system ABSOLUTELY
moisture free before recharging with R134a. Even pro shops quite often
mess up.

Re: Converting R12 to R134a on 1992 Honda Accord
Additional information on interdynamics conversion kit.
Kit contains:
+ 8 1/2 oz. R-134a Ester Oil Charge with O-Ring Conditioner
+ R-134a charging hose & can tap valve
+ Low and high service port adapters with color coded protective caps
+ SAE spec retrofit label
Process is outlined at http://www.id-usa.com/retrofit.htm
1. Removal of Remaining R-12 in an EPA Approved Manner
2. Attachment of R-134a Service Port Adapters
3. R-134a Oil Charge
4. R-134a Refrigerant Charge
5. Attachment of Retrofit Label
They do say in their FAQ (http://www.id-usa.com/faq2.htm)
What about the old oil left in the system? Don't you have to drain that?
No. The mineral oil left behind will not mix with the R-134a
refrigerant.
That is why we add Ester Oil, because it will mix with R- 134a and
lubricate the system components.
The mineral oil just finds a low place in the system, where it stays,
until it is removed at some later date during future
maintenance or repair. The mineral oil does no good, but it does no
harm. It's just there.

Re: Converting R12 to R134a on 1992 Honda Accord
I remember when these conversion kits were first put on the market they were
talking about flushing the system, and that may of been to remove the oil
from the old system. This may of been a extra step to ensure that the repair
shop could afford steak and beer on the customer, for there next company
picnic!
