Colour Code and Cabin Work

1. Does anyhow know the colour code of the most easily available auto point that corrsponds to the colour in the attached picture? This is an original Volvo colour I think but bear in mind the picture may be a bit bright.

2. My 1995 940 is out in Malaysia and the AC struggles. I was thinking of fitting a "partition" where a dog guard would go to seal off the cargo area but I'm not sure how I'd make fitttings and where to them to. Any pointers please?

I don't know the colour but your air-conditioning will work better if it needs recharging with fresh "freon". You should have R134A which is not quite so good as the old R12. If you go to a refrigeration engineer and ask for R437 (I think) with pump lubrication included as well as a leak detector (die which becomes visible on contact with air). This refrigerant is better than the old R12.

All the best, Peter.
