    R12 compressor had the service valve on the top of it. (right bitch to get at) the later ABY's using R134a had the valve on the underside of the compressor. They learnt!

    There is virtually no way that the car of that age should have R12 in it. It had been banned by then IIRC.

      Is the condensor (infront of the rad) date stamped??? Cos if it hasnt been changed and the high pressure service port on the front of it is R134a then it is defo R134a. That port tube comes as part of a new condensor.

        Just looked on ETKA and NO ABY was R12. There was a distinct chassis break on 8B-P-002762->
        P chassis being 1993 so to me that suggests that the last of the 3B's must have been P chassis and these were all R12.
