Hey guys, I have a 93 civic DX 2 door. I rear ended someone and had to get some work done. They emptied the condenser of the freon and didn't fill it up. I've done some searching and I see that they switched to r134 from the r12 in 93. I've read that some have 134 and some have 12. How can I tell what mine is? Can I check the part # on the condenser or something. Thanks guys

 

Is there a label/sticker on the inside of the hood or compressor telling you the type of refrigerant?

I thought Civics didn't use R134a until 1994 or 1995, though not absolutely sure.

 

There's no label on it. I'm going to try and get a part # and see what I do with that. Any more help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

I think you may be able to figure out whether you have R12 or R134a by the manifold gauge connectors on the high and low sides. The two refrigerant system connectors are different. Bring the car to AutoZone. They should also be able to tell you.

 

R12 connectors were screw on type connectors
134A ones are push on. They're also a hel of a lot bigger than the R12 ones.
Lemme get some pics
