thx, lucky13, that's also what i thought. but how come good last year and bad this year since i never used cold air? btw, i think i still need R12 instead of R134. R12 is illegal in california now as i learned. anybody got suggestions? thx
I dont know but mine did the exact same thing. Had not used it but when it got hot and I tried to use it it simply would not blow hot. I got a new compressor on ebay for $270. A friend mechanic charged me $100 to put it in. You probably will not get as lucky on the price unless you do it yourself but there are quite a few compressors for sale on ebay by various auto stores for hundreds less that OEM from a lexus dealership.
I noticed yesterday that when i pressed Circulation, air blows kinda HOT, but when pressed the outside air, it feels a little bit cool. geeeez...i changed an airfilter. i believed it's something electronic messup.
