Hello all. I have a few issues with my 6th gen 1996 Aniv Ed. ST 1.8 hatchback. My AC blows warm air, and I need freon. What type of freon does this type of celica take? I can get any type of freon, and I know I "should" do the conversion kit, but I am a bit strapped for cash and want to do whatever is cheaper.
The second issue I have is with my brakes. I replaced my brake pads and rotors a few months ago, and they have been squeaking ever since. I Put break lube between the shims and pads, and used caliper lube on the caliper sliders. It worked for a good 2 minutes before it started squeaking again. Any more possible issues this could be from? I was told I may have just gotten low quality brake pads, but I wasn't aware they could sell brake pads that are instantly defective and squeak from day 1. Thanks--I have a few other issues with the car, such as valve ping, sunroof, fuse short, etc., but the AC comes first! It's been 70-80 all week in NY. |

taking the roof lining off is a pain. Let me tell you, seat belts, plastic pieces that go behind the seat belts, up from the dash to the roof, up from the back of the car etc etc all have to come out. You better be ready to work on her.
