Air con gas capacity?

Post by legoless »

Hi all
Can anyone have a quick look and find the refrigerant gas capacity for my 2003 110 hdi rapier estate (vin is 81569371)
The compressor is a Sanden SD7V16. I know the gas is R134a but I cant find the correct quantity to put in. I have just replaced my condensor as it had rotted out in the bottom corner as is usual with these. I have lost the sticky label that's usually under the bonnet with the refrigerant details and I have an air con engineer at work who will regas it if I can find the capacity. We have pressure tested with nitrogen and all is now ok
I looked on service box but I couldn't track it down :{

Did you read: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7606

(Which inludes "His book said 750g R134a").

IIRC I found several tables online which said slightly less, but that worked fine for the 3 and a bit more years I had the car.


Also note the bit abiut having to force the clutch on the first time, you may not have to, but it could save you hours of guessing. :wink:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
