Volkswagen Repair: passat 91, oxnard st, van nuys ca

Question
what type of AC does the passat 1991 has..
can i charge the freon..

Answer
It doesn't matter what original type of freon the Passat had. They don't sell R12 anymore. Moreover, if you could get it, R12 is very expensive. You must use R134 freon. It is very easy to switch over to R134 from R12. All you have to do is buy an adapter for the low pressure valve. You can get this "kit" from any auto parts store. Remember, the system must be free of air and any contaminents. You must have a vaccum if the system has been opened. You are better off evacuating the system and adding all new freon. Otherwise just get a can of R134 freon and a kit to add it to your car. i am Max's German Car located at 15020 Oxnard st Van Nuys CA 91411.
