Maybe you all can give me some advice about my A/C problems since this is such a "hot" topic (pun fully intended). 'Tis the season - we're facing 85 here and that means "hot" is just around the corner. My A/C needs work but I wanted to have a better idea of what I might be facing before I take it somewhere. Here's the background. When I bought the car last year and had it worked on the A/C really wasn't a priority so all EuroService did was to recharge with FR12 and tell me it wasn't really blowing very cold. His notes on the bill say: Car has no a/c cooling. Check and find no freon in system. Trace leak to charging port schrader valve. Replace valve core evacuate. Heald vacuum for 3 days. Charge a/c with FR12. Cold air from vents. Vents in poor condition and air handling system in general needs attention. I'm not anxious to take the car back to him, although for no particular reason other than he's frightfully expensive and slow, so I thought I'd take it somewhere else armed with whatever you all can guess at from my description. Dave T especially,you seem to be a D guru and I value your intuition and opinion from my usual lurk mode. thanks guys...............LP To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
