Air Conditioning Problems - Lexus GX-470

Recommended Posts

After getting a diagnosis on the aircon leaking refrigerant, we were told to replace the rear evaporator and the lines leading to the evaporator from the front of the vehicle. This did not solve the problem. Now it seems that the front end evaporator has a leak and you can hear it hiss when running the aircon. I am looking to a mechanic who will attempt to do this work, as it is very complicated, requires removing the whole dashboard and several components just to access the evaporator.

Hello, Boti.

Did the dianosis come from an independent shop mechanic? Who did the work? If that mechanic did the work, I'd take my vehicle back to him and demand that he fix the problem, once and for all. If you did the work, you may want to consider getting a diagnosis and quote from a Toyota dealership whose technician(s) have experience doing this type of service, previously.

It did get the diagnosis from and independent  show who did not mention anything about the front evaporator being bad, only the front to rear lines and the rear evaporator, which my trusted mechanic replaced. Obviously, it did not work.

I will take to to Toyota now for another diagnosis.
