Assuming that you have the later refrigerant of course, they attach to a valve on the car. The instructions on the can explain. Have not tried myself yet, but was going to try one out. Worth checking the pressure anyway. Just hope that they do contain enough oil, otherwise the compressor will not last long.

Yes it says R134 on the compressor. The Halfrauds kits say they contain refrigerant and lubricant and leak sealant. Do you have a rough idea where the valve might be? I've seen a couple of possibilities on the pipes near the compressor but they're covered with plastic caps which I don't want to force off if there's a chance I might degas the system totally.

The Halfrauds kits say they contain

the plastic caps are usually just dirt covers to keep the fill ports clean

they should unscrew to reveal a sparkly clean auto-sealing valve affair ... screw in your top up kit and ... let us know how you get on - I'm intrigued!
