'07 Yaris sedan A/C recharge...am i crazy?
Hi all, new to the forum! My wife's '07 Yaris sedan became my daily driver when I sold my Sonata last year. Have aspirations to add nice wheels/
radio/paint but first things first...A/C blows warm. So i grabbed the recharge kit at Advance Auto and the kit's hose doesn't fit on the low pressure port on the car! Local Toyota dealer service dept and the kids at Advance had no idea what I was talking about, and nothing about this problem online. Anyone have insight on this? Would prefer to do this myself although Toyota clearly wants me to pay them a lot to do it at the dealer. |

Is it for R134A refrigerant systems?

Not necessarily. Mine slowly went warm over the last couple years. I recharged it with a simple can of R134A and connection hose and it's ice cold again. That was over a month and a half ago.

You can only contain the system so much with seals and a spinning shaft to drive the compressor. 11 years later, some has escaped and doesn't mean there's a significant leak in the system.

you should not use "A/C pro" or any recharge kit from any supplier!!! most contain stop-leak which is aerobic. if you do not use a vacuum pump to remove all the oxygen in your system before injecting, you will ruin every component in the system! also, if you do not pull system into a vacuum, you will have a contaminated system that will run poorly and inaccurate. YOU SHOULD NOT SERVICE YOUR OWN A/C SYSTEM without using the proper reclaim equipment, charging equipment, or correct training. you need proper knowledge of temperature/pressure/humidity differences as well as a real set of manifold gauges and a vacuum pump. a reclaim compressor is handy, and a filter is needed if you plan to reuse any refrigerant. DON'T PUT GARBAGE INTO YOUR YARIS!

The A/C on my 08 sedan is not running as cold as it once did i suspect a recharge might be in order,What would be a ball park figure the dealer would charge me to recharge the system?
Thanks

$200. But they don't guarantee it. They say if it isn't working in 500 miles bring it back.
