its about 60-70 for a gegas in adelaide... the thing is, make sur ethey check the system first. if your eloosing gas then you got a leak. the ac system is complelty sealed and should never leak.

lol yep...
if ur running the old aircon sys with the gas that damages the ozone u need to make up NEW lines
cause they are porous n will seap out the lines
since its a 89 model id assume u need to make new lines
speak to an aircon specialist

Hey there, LPG works really well in a car's aircon (as long as there are no leaks for it to be ignited)
when changeing from the old r12 gas to the new r132 gas, what they do is put different adapters onto the line's to fill them up, re-do all the seal's, put a new tx valve in, a new reciver drier, and add oil no.8 into the aircon pump.
i've never seen them make new line's for the aircon unless one is broken, but most of the time they will just get a second hand one...

Seriously that is a stupid thing to post on a forum because even though you may be joking, some people might not see that and think you are serious.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE LPG IN YOUR AIRCON.

The "new" gas is R134a  .

Actually they are saying now that R134a damages the ozone layer as well. You should have new hoses made from "barrier hose" but I don't think we have ever done this unless the hoses were damaged.
kwayzivietnamese: If your air con needs regassing then it will have a leak somewhere. This needs repairing before a regas so you need to factor in repair costs into the regas price. You will be able to find someone who will just gas it for you and take your money but you will be back where you started next year when the gas has leaked out again. If you plan on keeping the car, spend the extra money and have it repaired properly.
Visit a few workshops in your area and get some quotes. The price will depend on what problems it has and whether it needs to be converted to R134a.
Sorry for the essay guys and I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments  .

u need new lines because the old lines are too porous for the new gas and the actual conversion system u may know of is just oiling the inside so ur compressor doesnt fuck up
LPG is stupid i was told by someone that putting LPG in WORKS but when he went for a smoke... he lost his eyebrows lets say
so the proper way to do it is
make new lines (from the 'barrier hose')
get ur aircon tested for leaks
get the internals oiled
and regassed
