AIR CONDITIONING GAS CHANGES

As of 2017, a new type of air conditioning gas is required by law for all new vehicles.

The gas, called HFO-1234yf (also known as R-1234yf), replaces previous refrigerants, as it produces 98% fewer climate-damaging pollutants than its predecessor, R134a. If your vehicle requires the new gas, this is available in selected garages (see the full list at the end of this article).

Some vehicle manufacturers made the switch a few years ago, and already require the latest gas when serviced. Below is a full list of makes and models (only if manufactured from 2013 onwards) which are only suitable for the air con service at the Halfords garages listed at the end of this article:

*If you are unsure on what gas you require, please refer to your vehicle handbook or contact our Customer Support Team on 0330 135 9779.
