Evening, my car needs an aircon service, I use a local guy for my cars but he doesn't have the weight of refrigerant for Aston Martins in his little book. Does anyone know the correct figure for a 2006 V8V?

TIA

According to the 2006 owners manual (page 11.10) the correct refrigerant is detailed below

A/C refrigerant HFC134A

Thanks but does it say how much is required rather than just the type?

Even the workshop manual doesn't mention it.... all it says is:

"Caution
The Recovery / Recycling / Recharging unit relies on a weighing mechanism to weight the quantity of oil removed. Ensure that the Recovery / Recycle /
Recharging unit is not disturbed during the recovery procedure."

In my Ferrari Owners manual it provides a specific weight of oil required - I suppose so that you can check that none has leaked out.

I'm surprised it's not published in the AM owners manual frown
