Viper RT-10 V10-8.0L VIN E (1997)
Refrigerant: Description and Operation
This vehicle uses a new type of refrigerant called R-134a. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear colorless liquefied gas.
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an air conditioning system. Even a small amount of R-12 in a R-134a system could cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil to sludge and/or poor performance. Never add R-12 to a system designed to use R-134a. System failure will occur.
A/C Service Port Valve Location
The A/C service port valve cores are located within the A/C lines. The High Side (Discharge) valve service port is located near the filter-drier on the
right side of the vehicle, behind the wheel well. The Low Side (Suction) valve service port is located near the receiver drier beside the air inlet.
Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Station (Typical)
When servicing a system, it is required that an air conditioning charging recovery/recycling machine be used. Contact an automotive service equipment
supplier for proper equipment. Refer to the operating instructions provided with the equipment for proper operation.
