The 1234YF Air Conditioning Gas – What you need to know
A new EU directive came in to operation in January 2017 that meant all new cars must now only use the new air conditioning gas 1234YF.
The questions asked are always; What’s the difference and why change the type of gas?
The main difference between the old style gas (R134) and the new 1234TF gas is down to its environmental credentials. The old R134 gas has a significantly higher global warming potential than the new gas. If the gas leaks from a car or van’s air conditioning system then it has a higher impact on the environment.
If you have the new 1234YF air conditioning system in your car or van and need it re-gassed, then please give us a call to book it in as we now have it in stock!
