Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Refrigerant R134a Environmental Information
Vehicle air conditioning systems make use of the
vaporization and condensation process. In this case, one works
with a substance which boils easily, designated as refrigerant. |
The refrigerant employed is tetrafluoroethane R134a, which
boils at -26.5 °C (-15.7 °F) at a vapor pressure of 1 bar (14.5
psi). |
R134a is a fluorocarbon and contains no chlorine. |
R134a has a shorter atmospheric life span than refrigerant
R12. |
R134a does not damage the ozone layer. The ozone depletion
potential is zero. |
The greenhouse potential of R134a (Global Warming Potential
= GWP) is approximately 1430 (the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1). |
The global warming effect of R134a is ten times less than
that of refrigerant R12. |

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Indicator lamp
→ Using the cruise control system
The cruise control system (CCS) helps to maintain an individual set speed at
forward speeds of approx. 20 km/h (12 mph) and higher.
The CCS only slows the veh ...
Vibration, Road Test, Performing Before Balancing
If a vehicle comes to the workshop with the complaint
“vibration”, a road test must be performed before balancing the
wheels.
That way, information about the type of vibration can be
obtained.
Obser ...
