Title: Air con not working
Post by: notf1ack on May 18, 2004, 01:25:03 PM
Does anyone know how much refrigerant the air con system takes in an FD3S? :confused:  

It\'s getting a bit too warm to drive the car without it working and I\'ve got a friend who can top it up but he wants to know how much it will need?

Thanks

according to the specs in the manual the max operating charge is 0.6kg - that\'s R12

r12 isnt being made anymore . you maybe lucky to find a place that has an old bottle somewhere , if not r407 is the drop in for r12 , but it would need to be charged by running instead of weighing it in
