hi all -

I have an '89 Syncro full camper with AC - which is now blowing hot. do I just need to refresh? do I need new parts to go along with this? is this something any good mechanic with AC knowledge can do or do I need a VW expert?

Personally, I would have any good mechanic re-charge the system if your a clutz with tools. Or, I would use RedTek, as it is a fraction of the price of R-12 and much more environmentally sound. You can even do it yourself. Follow the directions on their website and order the kit. You can save money, have your ac blow cold, work less and learn something. You may have a reasonable mechanic add it as well.
