Hello everyone
I dont know much about cars in general so I have a question,
my a/c needs to be recharged but someone told me that because my cherokee is to old they cannot do it without doing some conversion.

So the question is: is that true? what kind of freon does my cherokee need?

Its a 1991 cherokee laredo

Thanks

When your Cherokee was produced they were still using R-12 refrigerant. They used R-12 up to and including the 1993 model year. In 1994 and after every vhehicle manufactuter was required to use R-134A. So if your Cherokee hasn't been retrofitted to use R-134A the A/C system must be converted over to use the new R-134A.

Note: You can recharge with R-12, however it will be costly.

I'm not sure how good it works but there is freon called "freeze 12" that supposed to work with older AC units...Tj

It can still be charged with R12, but it is expensive, and if you have a leak you will just waste money. Fix the leak and recharge with R12, or convert to R134? It most likely will cost about the same if you have a shop do the conversion properly. If it were me, I would fix the leak and reacharge with R12, but have a shop do it, that way you'll have some sort of warranty.
