    Laking pagsisisi ko talaga ang pagconvert ng R12 to R134a. Nothing but headaches, wasted money and a warmer A/C. +1 on staying with R12.

    Any idea on how to make sure a 190E I will be looking at is still an R12? Lapit nako makaipon hehehe...

    Check mo yung nipples ng AC lines. Kung black na plastic or metal na textured, orig na R12 pa yun. Pero kung masmahaba sila na may blue or red na takip, baka na-convert na.

    Pwede mo rin check compressor kung napalitan na, minsan may markings sila indicating R134a use only.

    Best is to really check (sample) sa suking AC shop.

    Orig ba yan o replacement? Mahal talaga pag orig, spent 20k+ to replace all rubber seals for my w126 (sunroof seal alone is 5.5k). Nagkabit din ako ng replacement na door seals for my w123 pero di ako masyado satisfied sa fit.

    I agree with Ron. One "pay the price" -- either when you get replacements (likely not to provide satisfactory results) or get originals (you literally pay premium but sure to guarantee satisfaction)

    I suggest you go for originals but do it little by little (if budget is a concern). "Enjoy" the restoration. 1st things 1st.

    Incidentally, I have a fresh surplus set of Euro headlamps for 201. Does not come cheap but sure to guarantee you a smile after.
