Technical A/C Propellant

Maybe stupid, but it's a fact.
So get yourself some R134A, just in case.
Have a look at Ebay, and buy some 1-2 kilo containers as long as they are legally around.

But surly with the cast number of cars using the stuff they'll make some more environmentally friendly but compatible substitute

Don't count on it.
And even if they do,it won't cool like the real stuff.

My A/Cs seem to need topping up every summer on all the cars and i service it along with the cabin filter every summer and sometimes winter too. The amount of air that goes through the cabin filter is huge so it gets well clogged and just taking it out and beating it regularly does the world of good as does spraying some disinfectant in there too

I'm recharging my aircon on the Stilo and I am curious to know how to remove the "cabin filter" or does one have to remove the complete unit?
Thanks

Most FIAT units use a panel somewhere in the Air intake

SEARCH on here is pretty good
