BX aircon

Post by smiffy1071 »

What gas is used in a bx aircon system?
Is it R12, or R134?

Good question I suppose it would depend on year of manufacture but as R12 was phased out in 1993 the same year as the BX then the BX would have been a good model for Citoen to get rid of their remaining R12 systems :?

R12 was factory fit but your answer depends upon whether it has had the conversion to R134a in recent years. R134a can be identified by the different recharging ports fitted as adaptors on the BX.
