MMDA and LTO checking freon type in 98 and older cars

[nicolodeon]

kung wala silang gamit maybe pahihiramin ko na lang sila ng refrigerant identifier para malaman nila na r134-a yung system ko. :D

Sige nga brader, pahiramin mo't ng matuto sila.

usually kapag yung service valves ng aircon nyo is yung plug type - r134a un
kapag screw type yung valves nyo - r12

Yep, I know. However, alam ba ng mga MMDA to na magche-check? While some might, I betcha that a lot don't. Baka nga hinde nila alam ang histura ng service valves eh.

kapg retrofitted yan system nyo usually dapat meron nakalagay
na sticker na "retrofitted to r134-a" na accreditted DTI/DENR/DOST Shops.

Most of the shops na ganito eh nasa Manila. What I'm getting at is that kakaunti ang airconshops sa probinsya ng karatig sa Manila na accredited ng DENR/DOST. Yes, pwedeng sa Manila ipa-gawa ung aircon pero syempre, ang nature ng may-ari ng kotse eh magtipid. So, for example mangagaling pa sa....San Ildefonso ang may-ari ng sasakyan tas dadayo pa sa Metro Manila para ipagawa yung aircon (para lang pag natyempuhan sya sa EDSA twing pupunta sa Glorietta or somewhere eh once a month eh oks sya), the owner of the vehicle would just use the money that would spend on gas and toll fees to have his aircon repaired at a shop near his home, which would not likely be DENR/DOST accredited.

is mang mario accredited by DTI? pano kung dun ka sa hindi accredited ng DTI nagpa-convert ng a/c system mo? tapos walang sticker or any markings na nilagay that your a/c is already converted to r134a, how will the mmda and the lto know? wawa naman kaming nagpaconvert dyan sa mga tabi-tabi lang...

Meron din mga provincial aircon repair shops na accredited ng DOST/DENR/DTI. Yung suki kong aircon shop dito sa Tarlac is accredited. Meron binigay ang government na equipment sa kanya para pang suction at pang store ng R-12 refrigerants.

i have no idea what type yung latest refill ko.
so what type is environment friendly and what type is not?

R11 and R12 are banned along with some other types of refrigirant. R134a is the acceptable freon.

As for stoping 98 and older cars, they are just going to give the corrupt a new source of income. They should just enforce this during registration of the car. It might not prevent graft but at least you don't have people flagging down cars and creating traffic jams.

Dunno the details how they can tell if you are using R134. Taste test?

nope. they will not taste it...
they will open the aircon/freon valve where they usually put freon it, insert two straws and put the other end of the straw inside their nostrils.

back to the question...

mine is ok.... im using a 2k model.

Another idiotic $hit from the gov't don't you need to check the buses, tricycles, trucks, jeepneys they produce alot of polllutions.

so far, hindi ako pinara ng mga mmda kanina dito sa edsa-ortigas intersection.
wala pa naman akong budget for a conversion right now.
thanks po dito sa info.

[alwayz_yummy]

they say na mag-liliyab daw ang r12 on flame ang 134a daw hindi... ewan ko kung totoo yun...

maxima ko 134a converted na 2 years ago...pero wala naman sticker kinabit!

anu titignan, stickers lang pati yung fitting??? buti kung sila gagastos ng mga yon...tax money naman gagastusin at hindi nasa bulsa nila...

[gearspeed]

Buti na lang rare ko na ginagamit ang old car namin.
Yung dahon civic naman walang con air kaya ok lang.
