Since the PO did an A/C delete i the US, and nobody in their right mind would use it without A/C in PR, i decided to reinstall the a/c. So I went with the Sanden Kit.

Questions...
1) What type of refrigerant is it supposed to use (the sanden compr)??
2) Is there a write up to a DIY from scratch gas refill?? and oil??

Thanks in advanced

R134 should be valved for

The seller should have supplied you with everything you need.

Where did you find a Sanden kit ? Is it a new old stock or a used kit ?

I have the original installation sheets for this kit (discontinued many years ago) and there's no data about the oïl quantity. The original compressor was a SD 508 unit and the quantity of R12 is 1000 gr.

marco...I bought the new kit from Vertex Auto. Is there a way you could email me the pdfs? PM me...

gruhsy what do you mean by valved for?

griffiths thanks for the info...I know about your kits and believe me I spent weeks trying to convince myself to spend the extra $$ but had to bite the bullet. Great stuff...

No problem doc.
The "procedure" you are looking for is in the AC Help hyperlink
in my previous post.

My mistake. I thought you were refering to an old Diavia kit using a Sanden unit for no AC factory equipped cars, not the Vertex kit. Don't have any documentation about this kit.

The valving for R12 is different than R134. If you buy modern kits they should all be designed for R134 refrigerant that all
