Recharging The Air Conditioning

[bircht]

Hi, does anyone know where the aircon filler point is on a Emina Estima 2.2 Diesel ?

I've found one on the right hand side under the bonnet, but it's the wrong size for the universal gas recharger we've got. Does anyone know if there's another one?

Thanks, Terry

you might have the wrong kind of gas.

Each type has it's own specific valve. If your vehicle is an R34 coolant then this has been banned from use and subsequently no longer available ( legally ). It was replaced by R143, but this needs the valves changing to compatible ones first ( and maybe a seal or two in the system ).

Any Aircon Centre would be able to tell pretty much at a glance if this is the case ( and where to regas it )

Good luck

Don't you mean R12 and R134.
