They are not confirming on which exact parts are to be changed.
Didn't want to risk with any local mechanic as well.
Looking for a good experienced A/C mechanic in anywhere in Hyd.
Pls help with references if any.

The kit consists of a few AC pipes, RD bottle, oil, some seals, etc. You'll definitely feel shortchanged looking at the contents.
I was in a similar situation about 3 years ago. My 2000 5 Speed M800 had a R12 based system. I also tried Dupont Mo49 which is believed to be the replacement for R12 gas. However I read somewhere that it isn't ideal for automotive uses, so I had to convert to R134 system. Now the big question was: R134 conversion kit or the whole AC kit.
The quotes I received from different MASS varied from 22k to 37k. Aftermarket authorised Subros dealer quoted me 20k for the kit and agreed to deduct the scrap value of around 3k for my existing AC setup.
Everyone of them discouraged me when asked about the conversion kit, citing reasons like compressor failure, to not so good cooling etc. However my SA told me that compressor will fail only because if its weak, and that conversion to R134 has no relation with it.
So, I opted for the conversion kit. It was changed in March 2015 IIRC. I had to pay Rs. 5200 for kit + 500 labour +1300 R134 gas. They changed the oil seals in the compressor, flushed the system with nitrogen, checked for leaks etc.
It has been almost 2.5 years, and the AC has been a chiller(by 800 standards) under normal conditions. It only struggles to cool, if the car has been parked under sun for a long time. This is the vent temperature, when the ambient temperature was in excess of 40 degrees.
I'd recommend you to first get the AC system of your car thoroughly checked up. Check the evaporator, condenser, compressor etc in detail, and then opt for the conversion. If anyone of them is weak, go with the Subros complete AC kit. I am very happy with the conversion, and might upgrade to a new compressor since I have heard they are a bit less taxing on engine power. But not in near future definitely.

These packages have an MRP, known only to dealerships. And the different price you see are because of their discounts. You can ask them to show the MRP of the package on their DMS.
