95 Air Conditioner issue (1 Viewer)

[92Cruiser]

My 95 w/168000 has always had air that could freeze you out. Early this spring it ran for one hot day and everything was fine. Used it yesterday and it blows cool but not even close to what it was a couple months ago. I purchased a can of R134A charge and put it in. The gauge showed 10 before filling and 25 after. The temp did drop quite a bit in the cabin but wondering if it needs another can. The instructions say it should be at 45-50. Also, the can states it will fix most small leaks, is that a bad thing?

Has your a/c been converted to R134a? It's not good to mix that with R12. Since the a/c in your your 95 was designed to work with R12, I'd evacuate the system and take it to a shop for service....but that's just me and I'm no expert.
Call Rex at CoolStream. He's a LandCruiser guy and could help.

Yes, it was converted a while back by the previous owner. Has a sticker up by the radiator.

95 was r-134 from the factory. I think it came that way on 93(maybe 92?)+ model years.

Instead of getting another can you would be better off getting it serviced and recharged.
