I used it in the >Celica. It rocks. Is there a way to tell, ignoring the presence or absence of labels/stickers around the engine bay, what type of refridgerant is inside the A/C system? My 1985 900i doesn't have any stickers or labels saying it's been refilled with R134a but the compressor's spec plate says it's designed for R12. That could mean that the system still has R12 but then again it might not. Once I get the car running enough to renew it's rego and insurance after 2 years without any, I'll look at getting an A/C tech to explore the A/C system and figure out if it needs re-filling, etc. Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Saab C900 Workshop -- For all Saab C900 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
