Guest Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Just purchased a 56k 90 coupe with a leakey front seal on compressor. Got an out the door price of $695 for new GM compressor and conversion. I discussed my concerns and he assured me they do it all! new dryer, fittings, orifices?etc. I recently had my other 90 done and have no complaints. The leak is there, I watched him test, is a stop leak/freon combo an option temp. while I investigate conversion? A recent post mentioned a NEW r12 dropin about to hit the market. Anybody know of that product? And last, what about "collectibility value" if converted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 The "drop in" is R-406A. See <A HREF="http://yarchive.net/ac/r406a.html" TARGET=_blank>http://yarchive.net/ac/r406a.html</A> <BR>- have not tried but sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 The front seal costs $10-$15. There are places where you can rent the seal remover/installer tool. Recharge the system with old R12 for approximately $200. You can save yourself hundreds of dollars if you do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
