Effects on plastics

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1999 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refrigerant R-134a will deteriorate some plastics. When system temperature drops, these plastics can be deposited at the expansion valve or restrictor causing blockage. Therefore, when making system repairs, use only genuine VW replacement parts which are specified for use with the R-134a refrigerant.
