Chimaera Air Con - How Much Gas????

[Christopher-xtlgf]

I need to get the air con re-gassed on my 4.0 Chim, does anyone know how much gas is needed? I have the car booked in to a local garage and they asked me to find out, can anyone help me please?

As a very good estimate having worked on many AC systems on cars over the years, 750-800g will not be far away but depending on who is carrying out the work, they should be able to establish whether this value is slightly under or over charged based upon how efficiently the system is operating, the suction and discharge pressure and the temperature of the suction line.
My Griff doesn't have AC but may be worth checking your handbook, it may be stated with the oil volumes etc?

That's great thank you

As Big Ashy says 800 grams is about the norm however my 95 5l takes I think 1.5 kg of qas, almost twice as much as you would expect. There is a sticker on the r/h inner wing just in front of the ac pump. I'll post a pick of the sticker if you like?

Sorry looks like I've been exaggerating....again. It's 1.2 kg. Here's a shot of the sticker if it helps. My car is from Japan market not sure if has a bigger evaporator or whatever?
