they are all filled with R134a but with mineral oil? Or do they still run all with R12? R12 is absolutely impossible to get or refilled here in Germany. "

I might have to upgrade to a newer style compressor."

correct size of vacuum hose turbo hydramatic
Posted on November 2, 2014 at 5:19pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I'm pretty sure anybody here knows the correct size of inner diameter of the rubber vacuum hose from the metal vacuum line to the vacuum modulator assembly? Mine is the original one, too old and does have several cracks now. Now the gear is not shifting anymore or let's say at too high rpm.
I don't have my car around me currently. So unfortunately I can't have a look by myself! :(
