\'94 FD (jap) aircon

[RedRummy]

I was under the impression that the FD\'s aircon can\'t be regassed as its just a simple closed system.

But i\'ve heard of people regassing theirs...

Can I regas mine??

[davefrith]

you can although it might need converting depending on what year it is, as the old gas is now illegal.

[RedRummy]

ah yes, it will be the new gas...

What needs to be done to it to convert it?

[davefrith]

not sure, a different part I think

don\'t know mate tbh, I was going to get mine done at one point and from memory is wasn\'t very complicated/expensive.

[RedRummy]

k mate, no worries

[RAW]

mine is an L 94 and had the new gas, so all it would require is a refill, if there weren\'t holes in the condensor!

[RedRummy]

cool, same age as mine...

funnily enough it worked fine when I got it (few months ago) but last weekend it wouldn\'t pump any cold air out...

Have even considered ditching it altogether... never had an air-conned car, so what you don\'t know, you don\'t miss!!

There should be a yellow & black sticker on the underside the bunnet to tell you what air con system gas you use.

mines a 93 but is r134 (new gas) must have been one of the first! I recharged it with a kit from halfords for £25 and it seems ok. Bit slow to get cool, takes about 30mins to get really cool for some reason. hth
