Hi guys. Having a nightmare trying to find out what gas my i3 takes. Long story short is BMW want and absolute fortune to replace the ‘alleged’ damaged condenser and then re-gas.
I have a good friend who is an excellent mechanic who can replace the condenser for me including Labour for a 1/3 of the price. But he needs all the current gas removed before he will start on it. He is not able to do this, but has an aircon colleague locally who can if it’s R134A but not if it’s R1234yf.
Everywhere I’ve looked online seems to have conflicting information, with many saying R1234yf but a guy who replaced his all in the states using R134A. I’ve had the drunk out to look for labels/stamps/plates, and anything which might tell me, but found nothing. Manufactured at the start of 2015 if that helps. Would massively appreciate any help as I really need it doing with the hot weather and also the fact it helps cooling of the batteries. Many thanks guys
