A/C not cold. - Toyota Yaris Forums

I had the same complaint and took it in to the dealers. They put some dye in it and determined that a ring seal was split and they replaced the broken sealing ring and refilled with refrigerant. The explanation was that it got "overtightened" at the factory. I thought that Japan had the best quality control? It's 300% better now and I don't really put it above the first fan position even on a hot day after my car being in the parking lot all day. And I have a black car! It takes about 3 minutes to cool down now, which isn't bad. Yes, I would ask them to put some dye into it, it's really the best way to determine if there is a leak. That's what your warranty is for.
