Re: A/C Problem, Repairable?

["David Teitelbaum <jtrealty@xxxx>" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

With all of the repair history on the A/C the best thing would be to 
start all over again. Replace any questionable (field repaired) hoses, 
all of the seals and "O" rings, flush, purge, and pressure test, send 
the compressor out for rebuild or just replace. With contamination 
known to be in the system the safe thing is to replace the 
accumulater. At this time it is good to consider converting from R-12. 
I suggest you find yourself a well equipped shop that can handle this 
and do it right. It might get expensive but it is more expensive to do 
it cheaply and often. Fortunatly the A/C system in the Delorean isn't 
too unfamiliar to most A/C shops. Just lend them the Workshop Manual 
and tell them which Delorean vender you want them to get the parts 
from. Once properly fixed the system is pretty reliable. As far as 
replacing parts you could proabably do it yourself but any shop would 
just go over your work to clean the system and check for leaks. Unless 
you have the manifold gauge set, vacuum pump and gasses you will have 
to go to a shop anyway. Since you seem to be in California you really 
can't enjoy the Delorean without A/C so to use the car you really need 
to have a functional A/C system.
