i need to know the gas type used on ls400 1996

needs topping up

Thanks Syd

It should state the fluid type under the bonnet. Mine (1993 LS400) has a label near the sight glass on the left side of the gap left by the grill when you open the bonnet stating R134a (the newer your car the more likely it is to be R134a rather than the older R12 type). If you put the a/c to 'max cold' with the engine running you should see small bubbles rushing through the sight glass. No movement or a foamy appearance means you need re-gassing (or have a mechanical problem).

You can get a refill kit from Halfords - it works - I used one recently. Later found I have a slow leak so it stopped again after a few weeks.
