I’m pretty sure it’s got pure R134a in it, from what I know about the PO. He was on the fringes of being a DIY’er, and not a very good one at that based on the box of spare parts he gave me with the car.
And yes, I think the thing is cross flow condensers with systems designed for R134a. There were some guys who did “pure” R134a retrofits for W123 chassis cars at one time. I don’t know if they ever did a W126 retrofit. I’ll roll the dice with a hydrocarbon refrigerant if it can get me good duct temps in this climate. Right now everything is on hold until I figure out if the refrigerant temperature switch is bad. I’ve got it jumpered out and I just need to drive the car for a day or two to determine if it’s cooling better with the fans on. If it is, I’ll replace the switch first, as it should be turning on under the current conditions.
