The coldest temp I could get from my system was 42 degrees from the outside vents. I get no flow from the center vents. Is this caused by the failure of the center vacuum pod. Is there a way to replace this pod without pulling the dash? Is the industrial R-12 available to a certified mechanic? Can I get it? Can I switch back to R-12 from 134a? Is there a write up on changing back R-12?
