    While i was having my Audi re-gassed the other day,i was talking to the chap doing it and told him about my last NSX which had the now illegal gas in it.
    He told me that although the proper procedure was to change all the O-rings in the system because of the new gas,you don't really have to.He reckons the system would be ok for 8-10 years before the O-rings start to perish and need replacing.

    Don't know if he was giving his opinion or speaking fact though.

    I had mine changed over to the new gas a couple of years ago, all they did was remove the old gas, flush through, modify the filling points and re-gas. Had no problem with leaks etc since. Took about half an hour to do.

    Googled this lot, should be able to find one a local one out of these, I don't think the job is anything out of the ordinary on an NSX.

    I am in the process of having my aircon fixed. The compressor has been rebuilt. When refilling Norton Way have said that the new gas is a cheaper gas, and so adding the cost of new o-rings balances it out.

    They also recommended replacing the seals.

    It is possible to get an R12 replacement gas, without needing seals.

    Just out of curiosity (and hopefully it may help someone), does anyone know exactly how many grammes of the gas needs to be in the NSX a/c system?

    Thanks,

    Dan
