    When browsing various catalogs, there are different amounts of refrigerant for the Opel Vivaro (Trafic and Primastar say otherwise).

    I am interested in Opel service source how much air conditioning should be bought in Opel Vivaro from 2013-2014, version L2H1, dual-zone air conditioning (vents in the back), 9 passenger version, engine 2.0 with 114 HP (84KW).

    If someone had access to a service source, I would like to give a VIN number to check.

    ps what pressure should be at the correct amount of refrigerant according to the service source?

    Well, that's it :)

    The strangest thing is that the publicly available catalogs for Renault Trafic M9R give different values ....

    Does anyone have access to a Renault service source and how much they supply the factor for air conditioning for Renault Trafic Long, 9 people with rear air conditioning, for cars from the years 2013-2014?

    Added after 12 [minutes]:

    And the amount of oil that should be loaded into the system? Does the clogging machine also have options for giving it the amount of oil it needs to fill?

    As a rule, the same amount of oil is dispensed as was recovered - unless something was changed (condenser, evaporator, wires, etc.).

    Added after 28 [minutes]:


    Quantities of oil:


    Refrigerant circuit

    220 ml ? 15 ml


    compressor *

    Not applicable


    Condenser

    30 ml


    evaporator

    30 ml


    dehydrator

    15 ml


    Any refrigerant piping

    10 ml

    Note: * The new compressor is delivered after pre-filling. The repaired spare compressor should be emptied and filled with the specified oil in the amount of 120 ml.

    Colleague Milejów he wrote:

    "If it has an evaporator in the back (the presence of vents does not determine this), it is 950g. The pressures in each climate are similar, in an efficient system should be in the vicinity of LP 2-3bars-HP 15-17bar."

    I honestly did not see Trafic / Vivaro with the ceiling air in the second and third row and without the evaporator in the back ...?

    I am asking you again if someone has access to a Renault service source and can check how much they supply the factor for air conditioning for Renault Trafic Long, 9 seats with air conditioning in the rear, for cars from the years 2013-2014? According to my sources, they give different values than to Vivaro !? :crazyeyes:

    For example, in the BEHR-Hella catalog, they state:
    - Renault Trafic: R134 - 950 g; 250 ml oil
    - Opel Vivaro: R134 - 950 g; 235 ml oil
    In the Valeo catalog:
    - Renault Trafic: R134 - 1050 g ? 35; oil 220 ml
    - Opel Vivaro: R134 - 950 g; 220 ? 15 ml oil

    You wrote in general, with the airflow at the back, and the trafo without rear air also has airflow at the back (blows from the floor and blower control in the roof) The next case, 100gram of the factor does not make a significant difference in the kilogram. I do not have access to service data, I service climate control based on my data and I never had a problem, you want other data - go to aso. I fill this model with Trafic 950gram and add 3% of the volume of the refrigerant if no element of air-conditioning was replaced / emptied of oil.

    Why this oil refill :?: You 3% other 3% and in a moment 10%, and this is your calculation 100 ml oil, which is almost 50% of the entire system, and what is the compressor how to compress the oil and not the factor :?:
    The service data is below. I wonder who applies the appropriate oils :?:

    Because the station is less or less recovered (I do not add, I give back as much as I regained, but fresh) As if every servant was checking how much his station regained oil and did not add it to the blind eye, there would be no such questions.

    Ooh no no, my lord. :!:
    You did not write that it adds as much as the station will recover,
    only:

    And besides, you know that oil can be recovered 0 or more depending on how much time has elapsed since the last operation of the system or if the system worked at the time of downloading.

    So that was the question. :|
    Sometimes I can read with understanding :D

    That's what I wanted to do to determine the service values :)

    So for the M9R model:
    - Vivaro gas 950 g, oil 220 ml ? 15 ml
    - Hit gas 950 ? 35 g, oil 230 ml ? 10 ml

    Thank you very much for your help :)

FAQ

TL;DR: For 2013–2014 Vivaro/Trafic M9R with rear AC, charge 950 g R134a; "LP 2–3 bar, HP 15–17 bar." Verified against service-style notes and practitioner posts. [Elektroda, viper111, post #16652722]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps owners and techs quickly set correct refrigerant and oil specs, avoid compressor damage, and decode catalog discrepancies.

Quick Facts

How much refrigerant does a 2013–2014 Opel Vivaro 2.0 dCi (M9R) with rear AC take?

Use 950 g of R134a for M9R engines when the vehicle has a rear evaporator. This figure comes from service-style tables shared by experienced members. "Data from TIS-like sources" accompanies the list. [Elektroda, MikeC, post #16650726]

What’s the refrigerant charge for a 2013–2014 Renault Trafic Long, 9-seat, with rear AC?

Charge 950 g R134a. Some service listings show ±35 g tolerance and oil near 230 ml, but the refrigerant mass remains 950 g for M9R with rear AC. [Elektroda, viper111, post #16658317]

Do Vivaro and Trafic really differ in charge amount?

For M9R with rear evaporator, both specify 950 g R134a. Catalogs (BEHR-Hella, Valeo) vary on tolerances and oil, which explains conflicting tables, not different platforms. [Elektroda, viper111, post #16652722]

How do I know if my van has a rear evaporator (not just vents)?

Roof or floor vents alone do not prove a rear evaporator. Inspect for AC pipes running to a rear heat-exchanger unit; that defines “rear AC.” "Airflow at the back" can exist without the rear evaporator. [Elektroda, milejow, post #16653324]

What pressures should I see with the correct charge?

Expect roughly LP 2–3 bar and HP 15–17 bar in a healthy, correctly charged system. As one pro put it, "LP 2–3 bar, HP 15–17 bar." [Elektroda, viper111, post #16652722]

Is a 100 g deviation critical on a ~1 kg system?

A 100 g variance is not a big difference on a kilogram-class charge, but aim for spec to protect performance and hardware. "100 gram of the factor does not make a significant difference." [Elektroda, milejow, post #16653324]

How much oil is in the system, and how much should I add?

Total oil is 220 ml ±15 ml. As a rule, return the same amount of fresh oil that you recovered unless components were replaced. Component add-ons: condenser 30 ml, evaporator 30 ml, drier 15 ml, line 10 ml. [Elektroda, MikeC, post #16650893]

Should I add a flat 3% oil during a recharge?

No. Do not add oil blindly. Add back what you recovered, fresh, unless parts were changed. This avoids over-oiling and compressor stress. "I give back as much as I regained, but fresh." [Elektroda, milejow, post #16657730]

Why might the recovered oil amount vary a lot?

Recovery can be near zero or higher depending on how recently the system ran and whether it was operating during recovery. This variability is why fixed-percentage oil top-ups are risky. [Elektroda, genek1000, post #16657994]

What oil to use when replacing components, and how much per part?

Use PAG oil per spec. Typical add amounts: condenser 30 ml, evaporator 30 ml, drier 15 ml, any line 10 ml. A repaired spare compressor should be emptied and refilled with 120 ml. New compressors arrive prefilled. [Elektroda, MikeC, post #16650893]

Which engines need 1150 g instead of 950 g?

Vehicles with rear AC using F4R, F9Q, or G9U engines specify 1150 g R134a. M9R variants specify 950 g. Confirm via the under-bonnet label or VIN data. [Elektroda, MikeC, post #16650726]

What refrigerant type do these vans use from the factory?

R134a is listed in major catalogs for Vivaro/Trafic of this era, which aligns with workshop references in the thread. Catalog tables explicitly cite “R134.” [Elektroda, viper111, post #16652722]

How do I perform a basic recharge correctly (summary)?

  1. Recover refrigerant and measure oil removed; replace the same amount with fresh oil.
  2. Vacuum, leak-check, and ensure the rear evaporator circuit is included if fitted.
  3. Charge by weight to the spec for your engine/AC configuration. [Elektroda, MikeC, post #16650893]

Can I rely solely on dashboard rear vents to decide charge amount?

No. Rear vents can be present without a rear evaporator. Verify the hardware first; the charge spec depends on having that rear evaporator loop. [Elektroda, milejow, post #16653324]

What’s the oil spec tolerance and why does it matter?

The total oil tolerance is ±15 ml around 220 ml. Staying within tolerance keeps lubrication optimal and prevents hydrolock or cooling loss. Overfill is a known failure risk. [Elektroda, MikeC, post #16650893]

Why do BEHR-Hella and Valeo list different numbers than Opel/Renault sources?

Catalogs often show differing tolerances and oil fills by sub-model. The core M9R charge stays 950 g; oil figures vary slightly between lists. Check the engine code and rear AC presence. [Elektroda, viper111, post #16652722]
