Anyone ever use "Artic Freeze" r134a -- wondering if I just ruined the A/C system...
My air conditioning on my '94 has never worked. I kept seeing those display cases at the parts store and talked to the dude who recommended the "Arctic Freeze" r134a refrigerant kit. I added one 12oz can and the pressure on the guage read 35psi. The air conditioning worked great and I was thrilled.
Then (and I should have read before, duh!) I read articles here and elsewhere that said these "leak sealing" additives could actually mess up the system. I read more that I should have had a vacuum drawn, etc...
So, I'm wondering if anyone else has used Artic Freeze r134a and if they thought it was OK or if they experienced any problems.
Any advice on whether I should hurry and get that stuff out of there, etc, would be great too.
