Vehicles made prior to 1992/1993 probably have air conditioning systems running on the older R12 refrigerant gas. Since 31.12.2000, due to environmental legislation, it has become illegal to offer this type of gas for the service or repair of air conditioning systems. R12 refrigerants are believed to damage the ozone layer.
We use a gas analyzer to check your existing system gas and can identify the type of gas (correct or otherwise), and its state of purity. If contaminated we can recover this harmful gas and dispose of it safely, protecting the environment and meeting with all current legislation.
A conversion consists of evacuating the system of the damaging R12 gas, cleaning the system, changing the valves and recharging with R134 gas.
Please call our service department for further details.
