Sorry to say I have a 95 Ford Contour as well. 1995 was the year they switched from the bad stuff r-12 to slightly less bad stuff 134a. If your sticker is still on the unit it'll tell you which type it is, if the sticker is off... well you should take it to an A/C repair shop and have them tell you. (My sticker was off and I had r-12)
Yes , a 1995 Ford Contour should have a heater core . It is used to warm the air ( if necessary ) that comes in to the passenger compartment of the vehicle
The 2001 Ford Explorer A/C unit does not contain Freon (R12). Freon has not been used since 1995.
R-134a
I believe it is R - 134a , that is what my 1995 Explorer uses
134a is the refrigerant used by most vehicles made after 1995
134A FREON IS USED.
1997 =============================================================== I know that my 1993 Ford Explorer took R12 , but my 1995 takes R134a
134a
Freon is not used in automobiles any more. Refrigerant is used.
