Yes theoretically you can use R134a in place of R1234yf this is because they are very similar gasses and in essence the manufacturers did not have to redesign their Aircon systems.

Your biggest issue will be filling the system as the connections on the aircon system are bigger on R1234yf equipped cars. I’m not aware of any adaptors but their might be something you could buy from China ?

Or some newer aircon machines have the connectors for the newer systems and you get the aircon person to refill it with R134a in place of the R1234yf.

I have no idea what your rule and laws are like in Egypt, but as you’re not part of the EU the rules around what gas has to be used are unlikely to apply
(I’m just preempting someone coming in and ranting about what you’re preposing being illegal, because it probably isn’t in Egypt)

Thanks alot for your support, as for law in egypt we have no issue at all lol, do u think it may cause any damage to the A/c compressor on the long run or any other issue, also do you i know if i need adapter or just inject some R134A to what i have already of R1234A in A/C tank

Also another inquiry please my A/c tank is 450 and ibhave around 350 R1234yf can i continue top up R134A or i need to discharge the whole tank and add only one type?

You should only use one gas in the system at anyone time. Don’t mix them.
