Yay No A/C

Alright I have a 1989 reatta with the 134a retrofit on the air conditioner. When i first got the car in 2003 it had the standard R12 and it worked pretty good. My dad decided to have it switched over to 134a and ever since then it has not worked. I get the message about very low coolant and the system is disengaging.

Sounds like your refrigerant leaked out. Were all the seals replaced when it was converted? If you had a leak with R12, its going to be worse with R134a

I'm not dissapointed with my switch over, but have to add refrigerant every year, which my mechanic said I would have to to. The spring and fall, seem to bring up incorrect low refrigerant warnings. I add in the Spring, and have no problems till next year, so I'm satisfied.

I dont believe the R12 was leaking but i think i may have to go get a can of the leak finder because it was working perfectly for like the first two days after the 134a install. I got it refilled last summer and it worked great for about a day and a half and then it just died and blows out air but it is not cold lol. I'm not sure which seals were actually replaced because my dad had it installed and I didn't see the port until yesterday when we tried to refill it.
