  1. Do you have any good advice for me?

    My air blows but the air does not get cold.

    I took to a few people nobody has the same?

    thing to say. One guy told me that I may need

    to flush and clean the system due to it setting

    at the shop for so long. Another guy told me

    that the compressor was not working but the

    other gut pointed out to me that it was spinning

    around and looked to be okay. What do you think?

    :chairshot: Yes,

      Take it to a reputable shop. If there is almost a vacuum on the low side, replace the expansion valve that is located in the evaportor box under the passenger side glove compartment.

    Just went through that. The expansion valve gets plugged up and the compressor engages for a few seconds, disengages, and then the dreaded flashing A/C light. Hope this helps.

    The expansion valve is only $65 after market or $125 Lexus.

    Sounds like your compressor is near final death.

    Thanks Jbar - compressor w/ clutch replaced within the last year with a rebuilt unit. Guy who installed it and another mechanic say it checks out fine.

    Any other ideas?

  2. ELEGANT, SOPHISTICATED!

    NOT TOO MUCH A TRUE CASE OF “LESS IS MORE”.

    A BEAUTIFUL CAR!

    Here are some pics of my 06 GS. What do you guys think of the mods I've done so far? Has anyone done anything else?

    Let me know what you think of the interior. I'm thinking of pulling it out and leaving it stock.

    I've already been slammed for, well, not having the car slammed. Maybe in the future I'll have the car lowered but I'm fine with it right now. My front two tires rub the fenderwell when i make a sharp turn as it is anyway.

  3. Hi,

    Can anybody help? I got this car almost free, a 1991 Lexus LS400 the motor is rebuilt.

    It drives really nice the motor is smooth,

    I love the look, the ride, everything but the air is not working.

    The car was in a shop for almost 3 years the past owner never picked it up.

    I was told that if the car was motor was taken out and left uncovered the air

    conditioner may need to be flushed at a cost of $700. That almost the amount

    that I paid for the car.

    PLEASE, SOMEBODY GIVE ME SOME HOPE. TELL ME THATS NOT TRUE.

    1. The air conditioner blows but the air blowing out is not cold at all.

    Is the air conditioner a common problem with the LS400?

    2.I would like to replace the seats the leather is cracking on the front passenger

    seat I guess because it sat for so long.
