Interesting article on average freon loss per year in sample of 2,000 German cars including BMW. This would result in 1 to 2 ounces of loss R134a. So this would lead me to believe that a 10 year old car would typically need 8 to 12 ounces recharged. No additives, just 134a that comes in the...

OK, so its 100 degrees everyday around here in North Texas. Not a good time for a/c problems, especially when you have a black on black 760! My a/c works great on as long as the car is moving, but quits upon slowing down or stopping in traffic. Of course the first thing is to make certain is...
