T Square,
I just picked up my 95 ES300 (48,000 miles) from Toyota who wants $1135 to replace my Air conditioning Expansion valve and Receiver Dryer. As this amount represents probably half of the car's value, i paid the $189 diagnostic fee and drove home. The car's A/C blows cold initially when turned on but then becomes warm. Have you gone ahead with your repairs, if so, do you have any advice as to the difficulty of the job? Where are these parts located? Do you know the part numbers? Any advice is welcome. I hate to give up on such a nice car! Please share your experience.
