I searched for but didn't find a thread on this subject.
The factory A/C system on my 88L requires recharging. All components appear to function correctly, but the air isn't at all cold. I'm presently waiting for a quote from a local specialist. I've requested the following:
-Check system for leaks
-Evacuate any residual R12
-Install new High and Low side adapter fittings
-Replace A/C receiver drier/accumulator (mandatory when retrofitting a vehicle)
-Recharge with R134a freon
-Test for function
I mentioned in my quote request that I'll purchase and provide the receiver drier/accumulator from Rock Auto, via this link.
It seems that I'd just have to match the Rock Auto part with the design (appearance) of the drier/accumulator presently in the car. Any additional advice here is welcome.
What's a reasonable cost for the requested service? What about repair costs for any detected leaks? Just want ballpark figures so that I can cross-shop other A/C specialists if/when necessary.
