FAQs

What type of refrigerant does this product use?

This product is designed for R134a systems and is an R134a Equivalent that does NOT contain HFCs.

How do I know if my car uses R134a?

You can usually find this information under the bonnet of your car or in your vehicle's owner's manual. It is common in most cars up to 2016 and commercial vehicles up to 2021.

Do I need any special tools to use this product?

Yes, you will need a suitable manifold and gauge set (not supplied) to safely and accurately recharge your AC system.

Can I use this product on a system that uses R1234yf refrigerant?

No, this product is specifically for R134a systems only. Using it on an R1234yf system can cause damage.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear safety goggles and gloves. Avoid loose clothing around running engines. Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area.

Can I use this product if my AC system needs vacuuming?

No, this product is not designed for use on systems that require vacuuming before recharge. It is intended as a top-up solution for systems that have lost refrigerant but have not been opened or evacuated.

How do I know how much product to add?

You should use a suitable manifold and gauge (not supplied) to deploy enough product into the vehicle to fill to the specified level recommended in your vehicle's manual for peak AC performance.

Troubleshooting

AC system is not cooling after refill.

Ensure the vehicle's AC system is R134a compatible and the correct low-side port was used. Check for obvious leaks. A professional inspection may be required if performance does not improve.

Difficulty connecting the gauge or can.

Ensure you are using the correct adapter for the R134a low-side port and that all connections are securely tightened. Refer to the instructions for your manifold and gauge set.

Product does not seem to dispense.

Check that the can is upright and the valve on the can and your manifold gauge is open. Ensure the can is at room temperature and not frozen.

AC system pressure seems too high.

Stop dispensing the product immediately. Use the manifold gauge to check system pressure and consult your vehicle manual or a professional to understand safe operating pressures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility Check: Before use, verify that your vehicle's air conditioning system uses R134a refrigerant. This is typically found in most cars manufactured before 2016 and commercial vehicles before 2021. Check under the bonnet or consult your car manual to confirm the refrigerant type. You must also be able to identify the low-side filling port on your AC system.

Required Tools: A suitable manifold and gauge set (not supplied with this product) is necessary to accurately measure and deploy the refrigerant into the system.

Usage: Do not attempt to vacuum the AC system before using this product. Connect the gauge set to the low-side filling port and deploy the product until the specified level is reached, as indicated by the gauge.

Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the can is properly sealed after use.
