Off hand I can't remember the name of the refridgerant gas, but I know it changed between the 200's and the 300's (most cars changed in 1995 ish), what age is your vehicle?

If no-one else knows I'll have a look under my bonnet later for you  :wink:

Mine was a borderline case as to which gas it was on (it's a 1995) but it turned out to be the newer style, so I'm afraid I can't help you.

The gas is called called 'R134' but you have to put the correct amount of special oil in it as well called 'PAG' oil.

I drive a refrigerated trailer and our onsite engineer done mine for a tenner last summer. Its worked perfectly well since then. He connected up all the pipes to see how much was missing ( which was nearly 90%) and topped it up and everything is fine.

I have this info now,

Hi, Paul i did a bit of research on your air con and i found this

The charge weight for R12 which I presume that you have in that is 1190 grams or if you have AC in the rear as well (very rare) is 1540 grams. Unless your using use R12 you presumably are putting in an alternative such as RS-24 or something else. For RS-24 you use 85% to 90% of the R12 charge.

I now to use 136 gas now, So I hope this helps every one else.
