    Hey guys, recently got my ke70 aircon lines redone after my 4age conversion. Pretty happy with how its all come up, except that the temp isnt really too cool, even in the cooler weather. Pretty sure they used r134A, so was thinking a different gas might help it chill a bit better? Anyone recommend something you run in yours or know of that'll keep the chill? Thanks!

    R134a is the only gas that is used now days

    I would say you have a leak or they didn't put the right amount of gas in the system. If they did it correctly they would have used a dye to show up leaks.

    Take it back to the place that did the re-gas and tell them its not cooling properly. It should only take them a few minutes to find a leak if there is any.

    The laws have changed in the last 12months so they will only repair it then refill it again. They wont just top it up unless they can't find any leaks.

    Cool, thanks craig. It was done at "natrad" in town, and they were pretty good. THey said it'd struggle when it was stationary on hotter days until i get a new thermo for the condensor and shroud, but even on mid 20's it wasnt that great. There was an issue with the wiring too (well, so they thought - got it back and they said it wasnt quite working - had gone on then died off, but found the a/c amplifier had a RPM cutoff switch on it). Will take it back into them though and get them to check it out. Pretty sure they ran dye through it though. Thanks!

    No one will put LPG in it. Simply because of a crash or alike it will cause an explose or fire!!

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Craig_AE86 @ Nov 10 2007, 05:33 PM) </div>Bullshit!!!

    Im an air-con mechanic, there isn't enough lpg in the system to cause anything (100-200g), plus because it is under pressure if it escapes it is freezing cold anyway (-40 or colder) therefore wont ignite easily in the first few seconds of the crash.

    They have proven it doesn't explode in crash tests aswell, thats why VIC can use it.

    R134a and LPG don't mix dr1ft-pig, thats gonna cause an explosion
