The only Air Conditioning Refrigerants approved for use in Porsche vehicles are R12 or R134a depending on model year or if vehicle has been refitted
for R134a use.
Some substitute refrigerants that are on the U.S. and Canadian market may contain flammable substances such as propane. These substitute refrigerants
may cause safety and performance problems in the air conditioning system, along with contaminating recycling equipment and any subsequent vehicles

Specialized test equipment that can identify refrigerant types is available from NEUTRONICS INC. Information regarding these testers can be found in
Porsche Equipment Bulletin number 9501.
