Hi.
I have a 2013 fiat 500 1.2 which requires the air conditioning recharged. Please can you tell me the type of fluid it takes. I took it to my local trusted garage and There doesn't appear to be a label under the bonnet. He was therefore reluctant to do it as thr wrong fluid will ruin the system. Is it R143a?
The vehicle registration Is DY13HDD and VIN number ZFA312000*00951707

Best regard

The fittings are completely different by design. My thought is that if a car aircon specialist can't identify the type of gas used by the fittings, they can't actually be that much of an aircon specialist and is just offering a regas service as a side hustle.

I'd be taking it someplace else. Aircon servicing is best left to specialists, not general purpose garages.
