AC Valve Caps
« on: February 04, 2025, 06:07:19 PM »
Hi All

I just had my AC gas topped up with R-1234YF gas but found that the valve caps are missing. I am having a lot of trouble locating replacements. Can anyone help and confirm what types of caps these are? It appears that Honda didn't put them back the last time I had the gas topped up!

Scrapyard? I'm guessing they will be standard across the complete Honda range.

Everyone and their dog sells universal caps for R134 systems   but I think R-1234YF systems are different and I see your problem finding spares.   

Have a look at this site.   I did a site search "R 1234 dust caps '  and its lists H and L caps with M8 and M10  and also M9 thread etc.  (you could maybe check your thread size with a nut or something)

Prices each are in pence  but postage cost  ,minimum quantity etc may be a problem. 

https://www.autoairconparts.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=R1234%20dust%20cap 

 Its possible that anywhere that does aircon recharging will keep a few spares, (or accumulate  a few they forgot to put back on  ;) ). If the one where you had your recharge are unable to help you may find a friendly one  who will help you out  from goodwill or for a small fee .
