Correct refrigerant weight for starex

**warrior** · July 28th, 2008 05:00 PM

Guru's, Does anybody know the exact refrigerant weight for starex dual a/c. Have asked 4 casa dealerships already and all gave me different answers. The owners manual does not have this information. Badly needed this. Thanks in advance

i don't have the technical info but i worked on mostly all kinds of vans with dual A/C one thing i noticed , they all have this spec.

R134A 3 LBS. +/- 10 %

Thanks, but what i notice here in the philippines, vans have 2 condensers, and they put an average of 1 to 1.2kls or higher.

Hi mr. bambino, thanks again for your response. If you can give me the source of your research for my starex van , would appreciate it because i'm having discussion with my a/c technician and sabi nya sobra daw yon kasi pag nagrerecover daw sila di daw 1.3kls. Thank you again

you're welcome

here's the site and you can also share this to the interested party

about the recovery if they ( the techs ) want to prove it themselves that they can't get the same amount of refrigerant they put into the system ;

recover and evacuate the system

charge let's say 1 kilo of refrigerant into the system

and recover . the result will be less
