[MBZ] When did R134a start?

2010-07-16 Thread Allan Streib
What's the earliest year that MB used R134A refrigerant from the factory for 
north america?  Were there any issues early that were resolved in later years?

Interesting- my '92 300e w/2.6 motor (build date July 1992 IIRC) has R-12.

The 201 probably had r12 to the end since they ended in 93 anyway.

All 1995 models had to be R134a, but it wouldn't surprise me if MBZ made the 
switch earlier.
My ex Bob Morrison 300D 2.5 is a 1992 (don't know date of manufacture), and IIRC 
Bob told me the MBZ dealer converted it to R134a a few years ago after they quit 
servicing R12.
