Unless it has been converted over to R134 it came with R12. I suggest you convert it to R134a. R12 is very expensive.
R134a
It takes R-134a. Good luck.
what kind of freon does Hyundai elantra take?
To replace the 1996 V6 Mercury Sable climate control and take out the old control, you will need to remove the covering below the steering wheel and dashboard. Then, access the climate control in the instrument panel and remove the old control.
The 2001 Mercury Cougar does not contain Freon. Freon was banned in 1996. I suggest you take this vehicle to someone who has the knowledge, tools, and skill, to repair the A/C system.
It will use R134a Freon..........
Take out the battery.
