Aircon recharge - which gas, R12 or R134a?

Thanks, that's good to know.

I read that the molecules of R134a are smaller than that of R12, and that's why they can seep through the hoses slightly quicker. I guess that's why aircon needs regassing every now and then.

Looking at the parts CD, the 2 hoses on this model were originally p/ns
88711-12341 (discharge hose)
88712-12590 (suction hose)

Presumably, these aren't exactly suitable for R134a, though.

I'll have to do some checking around some aircon places to see what can be supplied, if anything.
