I have had this car for a year and a half. Last summer the a/c was super cold, this year it is not. I assume since it was so cold last year that it has been converted to the R134. How do I tell if it has been retro-fitted or not? I don't want to be taken advantage of when I go get it recharged. They may tell me it needs retro'd when it already has been.

Thank you in advance for your help...:)

if this has been changed to R134 there will be adapters on a/c ports. One will be by the firewall and it could have red and blue caps on each of the ports.....
