'90 240 A/C - What Should I Do?

I'm about to have a 1990 240 returned to me after serving my daughter well - she bought a new Subaru. I think she would still be driving the 240 if she could have found someone to get the A/C humming again. She had the A/C checked out by God-knows-who and they did God-knows-what to it. It was the usual story - worked for a while and now it might cost $1500.

I had planned to order a Volvo R12 to R134a conversion kit to start. Reading this forum, I was under the impression that the Volvo conversion kit was a bargain. I guess things changed because when I checked TASCA, they want over $600 for it.

So:

-Does anyone have any suggestions about how to attack this problem?

-Can the components of the conversion kit be found for less money?

-Should I change out the evaporator to the post-1990 version?

-Does Freeze-12 or any of the other drop-ins work well?


Thanks, one and all,

Rich
