The R12 system in my Shadow gets so cold frost appears on the airvents lol

They did it better in the old days ;)

They used proper Freon in the old days! Sadly the penguins didn't appreciate it :(

I had an R12 system in an old Citroen XM and it would blow the socks off an R134a system any day of the week.

My car has now been gassed and tracked but I didn’t have time to collect it today. Apparently it’s blowing nice and cold though which is good! Just got to hope it keeps doing so now!

We gassed the 2001 Vogue that used to belong to OldShep yesterday while sorting out a few other bits and pieces on it. Having had the Nitrogen put in to pressure test it and vacuumed before the refrigerant went in, we got it down to 6.2 degrees from the vents.

I’ll give this one a test when I get it back tomorrow.

Hopefully it’ll be nice and cold!

Just found a thread from the last time mine was recharged and it was reading 5.3 degrees at the vents. Be nice if it’s as cold as this again this time around.

Are you sure that you want to perform this action? This action is irreversible.
