Electric vehicles use the same types of refrigerant gas as internal combustion engine vehicles with the majority requiring the newer R1234YF type of gas. Klea® 456A is an ASHRAE A1 classified refrigerant (same as R-134a) that was tailored to be a drop-in replacement for R-134a in automotive air conditioning. It has the same efficiency and safety classification as R-134a plus no oil changes or other changes are required. Why choose Climalife for Car Air Conditioning refrigerant gas? Just like cars that run on petrol and diesel, both electric vehicles and hybrids will also require the air con system recharged when the refrigerant gas in the air con system needs replacing. Otherwise, the air con system in your vehicle will not operate effectively and will start to blow warm air.

When removing the service tubes from the vehicle, do not point the connections toward your body. Refrigerant residues may leak. Items that are obviously damaged should be returned to base for inspection, report and rectification.

Climalife are a key player in the distribution of car air conditioning refrigerants and other climate control products, with a nationwide distribution network and product knowledge that is second to none. Do not expose any components of the air-conditioning system to heat. After paintwork, do not heat vehicles above 75°C (drying furnace). If this cannot be avoided, drain the air-conditioning system beforehand. Most modern cars have air conditioning systems fitted as standard, keeping passengers cool during summer and helping to de-mist in winter by removing excess moisture from the cabin air. climate-damaging pollutants than its predecessor, R134a. If your vehicle requires the new gas, this isThis solves one problem and creates a few new ones - and lots of money for many, now truly that is called progress in our disfunctional society? The EU Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) Directive of 2006 aimed to introduce measures that limited emissions of certain greenhouse gases from car air conditioning and reduce their impact on climate change. From 2011, it stated that all new vehicle types had to be built using a refrigerant gas with a Global Warming Potential below 150. Yes. R134a is a refrigerant that is still used in older vehicles and those vehicle models that weren’t updated any time before 2017. There is still a need for R134a refrigerant when top ups or re-gassing is required, as R1234yf is not a retrofit option for these vehicles. Can you tell me more about R456A?

Our process will ensure that your air conditioning system is working to its full potential. However, if our technicians find that the De-Mist has had no impact on the air conditioning temperature then the service will be FREE of charge. If your car is manufactured from January 2017 you will have the latest refrigerant in your car. Some cars from 2014 also have the latest gas. If you look under your bonnet as shown in the picture below, there will be a label identifying which type of gas and how many grams of gas your car requires. Inefficient aircon systems which are low on refrigerant gas will cause your engine to work harder and thereby increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Therefore, to maintain efficiency it is recommended that you should recharge your air conditioning system every two years. A drop in gas pressure will result in a loss of cooling efficiency, which will make your engine work harder and, in turn, use more fuel. That's why our Aircon De-Mist service ensures that your air conditioning system is working efficiently by testing the gas pressure to see if it has dropped. The process works as follows:

Crumbs, has your 2017 Fabia had R1234YF in its A/C system, I thought VW Group would have used the industry exception/exclusions/excuses to stay away from that until the launch of the current Fabia/Polo/Ibiza/A1. Our combined Air Conditioning Regas Antibacterial Clean is ideal if your Air Conditioning has stopped performing at it's best. Air-con recharge or re-gas is the removing the old refrigerant gas from your air conditioning system and replacing it with new refrigerant gas, so that your vehicles air conditioning runs cold and efficient again. The (maybe) irony is because this stuff is not an ozone depleting gas, any man and his dog were said to be able to work with it - but now you say that it is flammable, so no doubt "any man and his dog" will now come under different regulations and industry training units will be rubbing their hands, known as "win win" for some!
