Update
you r right there is a leak I tried to turn on AC today and no cold air. I dont know what happens but it seems the mechanic was lying that there is no leak. Now, I am unsure how / where / to test the system / leaks |

I think he used a big machine with dye in it and looked with uv and confirmed no leaks

Besides a leak, if the pressure sensor is bad, the system will also not run. If the mechanic has a Toyota specific electronic test tool he can read the codes and signal outputs from the AC ECU (this can not be done with a generic code reader)

According to that post, you were working after a recharge. If that was the case, then the pressure sensor is working.

Update I have got a minor leak in condenser. Initally I was told its all ok when I went back they show me the leaks. I said why you regass when there was a leak just to take money. He said you sort out the condenser and I will regass free. I am really disappointed. Asked him if this is a minor leak can he seal that he replied this will damge the compressor and more faults. he suggested replace the condenser. moving forward I will not trust any mechanic. Looking for a used condenser to replace thanks for all it is highly appreciated. Thinking to replace the conderser by myself then go for free regas. Any advise would be highly appreciated. |

Can't help with the ac but there are good mechanics out there.
As well as a lot of shady ones.
