    I just recently performed the A/C service on my 1995 348, in doing so I discovered a product that works better than traditional R134a.
    So I decided I would put together my first How to, for all of you do-it-yourselfers there on FChat.

    The product I used was called Arctic Freeze Refrigerant R-134a+
    It is made by Interdynamics; it replaces lost refrigerant & oil to the A/C system and was developed for NASA.
    If you would like to do some reading up on the differences of R134a to R134a+, here is a link to a .pdf file that I used.

    I can attest to it being a much better product to give your Ferrari’s A/C better cooling.
    A link to their website and product page is below.

    So without further ado’, I present my How to for A/C on the Ferrari 348 series. I hope you find it helpful.
    Jeff :)

    Nice work, but you kept using the word "freon" to describe charging the system. Am I the only one confused by that?

    It's my first how-to, just replace Freon with Refrigerant, problem solved. ;)
