Does someone have the dimensions of the stock 89+ condensor? I saw a couple of pics, but would like to have something exact, so that I can find a suitable universal one to replace it. Pics from multiple angles would be great, so that I can see the orientation of the ports.

WOW! Many thanks... I've been doing alot of reading elsewhere and completely missed that thread. Sounds like the condensor is all I've got to worry 'bout (since I recently replaced compressor, dryer/receiver, expansion valve, and 1 of the lines). There are plently of universal ones out...

I looked at some A/C forums and am thinking that a universal-fit parallel flow condensor may do the trick. Junk settles in there over time, so it's probably not a bad idea to replace it anyways. There will likely be some fabbing of the lines' fittings necessary, but basically upgrading the...

That's what I was saying... I don't want to do the trial and error stuff. I want to know the improvements that can be made, to use R134. Still not looking to use R12, but use R134 "better." I am using the Aristo's compressor (already made for 134). I am sure that others that do the 2J swap...

Not trying to avoid R134... Trying to make sure that I can get it to feel the same or better than when I was using R12. Figuring we all try to improve our car's performance in most other areas, why not the A/C? If it's as simple as using the evaporator or condensor from another car, or...

Thing is because of R12 not being as readily available, we will all have to make the change at some point. What are those couple of things that can be done or prepared for, so that when you go R134, you are freezin'? What's wrong with Freeze 12? Are there any measured comparisons out there...

Man I'm sorry. I sooooo understand. There are some things that make us take it to the fools, and as usual.... U R VERY DISAPPOINTED! I don't spend much ('cause I know better), but everytime I take it for an alignment, tire work, or A/C work, I know they're not doing anything right. It's...

...Mine does not cool with the crispness that the 87T w/R12 did. It was the same w/my 90T w/R134. Could there have been something different 10+ years ago with the available freon or sumthin'? I am thinking that there is probably 1 thing that we can improve/upgrade and be REALLY happy with...

Okay, I'm tired of not being frozen in my MKIII, like when it had R12. I am getting spare pieces of the A/C components together, so that we can have accurate dimensions/measurements for potential upgrades to the parts for our MKIIIs with R134, to make the air blow freezin' cold. What do we...

Is it the tail lights all-together, or just the brake lights? Brake light switch is at the brake pedal and has a small rubber grommet that pushes on the switch. Sometimes it's a bad switch, but most times the grommet falls apart and just needs to be replaced to push on the switch again. I...

Make sure you have good vacuum going to the booster. If that's good, then bleed the WHOLE system from the rear-most caliper forward. You may not have bled the master enough and there may be air in the lines now. Since many of us NEVER change the brake fluid, this is a good oppty to use a...

I just used one from an online supplier... The first one I received had a leak already and I recently got thru the hassle of returning the bad-new one, as well as the core. I'd recommend going with their cheaper rack since it includes the bushings. Since the 1st more expensive one turned out...

Did you have the brain and remote synched via bitwriter? I thought tey could do that, but it will lock the remotes out if they ever un-synch. When you checked the power/grounds, could you have removed all power to the unit and reset that feature somehow?

I am getting ready to wire up an alarm and am needing to use a couple of relays. Instead of the generic/obvious relays, I was thinking I could use a couple of the stock Toyota relays from one of my spare body/dash harness. Basically would have the connector w/pigtails and common Toyota relay...

Sorry... missed the the12volt reference when trying to scan the thread at work. If them guys can't help ya...

I once had "jerkyness" in the steering after some mechanic "proactively" replaced the PS VSV. Turned out that one of the feed/return lines to the pump had gotten kinked/bent a bit and the steering would go "from struggling to make a left turn, to all-of-a-sudden full PPS help." Same with...

This is what I'd suggest/do... Assuming that your pads are good. 1. Bleed the brake system (properly)... while you are bleeding, you can also check calipers for signs of leaks, etc. Check your brake lines... especially the SS kind where there is a clear nylon tube around the braided piece...

I am getting ready to install a DEI product on one of ours... I have found that good answers to stuff like this at www.the12volt.com They have an alarms forum with all kinds of installer's feedback and tips.

There are soooooo many places/ways to hide one. Only way to keep it secret, is not to tell ;-)

Thanks. The more we know about what they did, the better shape we're in to prevent it later.
