All 3. XH-7 and XH-9 are used by most R134a systems. XH-5 is used for R12. It's relatively cheap stuff. Also safer than having exothermic reactions in potentially flammable environments. R134a is flammable under the right conditions - when under pressure in the presence of oxygen. -Dave Walton

I believe that the coolant sensor for the ACC is in a dual element sensor on the engine - one set of pins for the ACC, the other for the idle control. The AC on my SDL would turn off the compressor as soon as the coolant hit 80C - the PO had reversed the sets of wires on that sensor. The AC
