R194a is not nearly as bad on the phosgene front...R12 was very bad mind

I thought modern 10 year old cars used 134a :-/

407c seems to be what we have to use in buildings now, don't know what new cars are using :-/

Certianly Omegas are all R194a

Hi,
May I please make a correction to the replies stating the refrigerant gas type as R194a

Since the discontinuation of refrigerant R12 in 1995 the current refrigerant for auto use is R134a.

Some experimental investigation is under way in the use of Carbon dioxide, but is not yet commercialy available.

194a is a designation of a small part of the DNA chain !!!

Regards
Roger

I think this (to a degree) is irrelevant as I'm pretty sure I have sussed the actual issue and its not the aircon rad

Pretty certain the washer bottle is leaking as the message just came up again and needed filling again despite me not having actually used the windscreen washers at all since last filled...makes sense as its in the same area, the leak is water not aircon gas AND the aircon works fine with nice cold air coming out

The twig is in fact just a couple of leaves on a stalk and while the aircon rad isnt in fantastic condition...it doesnt appear to be leaking
