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 :{
Air con gas capacity?

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.
