Which air-con gas is right for my car?

We know it’s important to use the right air-con gas to keep your system running smoothly. The type of refrigerant your car needs depends on its make and model. Here are the two most common types:

1. R134a – If your car was built before 2017, it’s likely to use R134a refrigerant. This has been the industry standard for many years and is commonly found in older vehicles.
2. R1234yf – Most cars manufactured after 2017 are equipped with the newer R1234yf refrigerant, which is more environmentally friendly and has a lower global warming potential (GWP).

Not sure which gas your car needs? Check your vehicle’s manual, look for a label under the bonnet, or simply bring your car to Alpha MOT Centre. Our experienced technicians will quickly identify the right refrigerant and ensure your air-con system is working efficiently.
