a/c

Just what the title says. Can it be done? Has anyone done it?

Hey All, I'm about to replace the idler pulley on my 1996 TLC with an OEM part. How do I remove the original idler pulley? Just keep loosening the 14mm nut in the center of the pulley? Thanks.

So I have a Tesla navigation unit (made be “Seicane”). I have gotten the a/c to function in the front, but I have no audio nor any rear a/c. Does anyone know how to remedy these issues with these Tesla units? Pictures is my mess of wires, I figured the “amp-c” wire may help with audio since I...

OEM A/C Condenser Fan for the 80 series with dual A/C. This is from a 1996 FZJ80 from the Middle East. $100 USD plus shipping.

I am having an issue, that once I turn on the rear a/c system, there is a "fluttering" noise that is coming from the rear. I haven't been able to pinpoint it, but it almost sounds like ONLY from the 3rd row area. I did some searches on here, where people have had blower issues or things stuck...

I bought this truck in 2011 out of BC, legally imported and has been a regular driver since then. It has the 3b Toyota diesel in it, this motor is extremely reliable and lasts forever, plus fuel efficient, average 20 mpg, has h55f 5 speed transmission. Came stock with AC. Originally had around...

My FJ40 with factory air (not dealer installed) is making bearing noises. I assume the compressor is not rebuildable. Trying to source a replacement. The after market companies I know are vintage air and nostalgic air. Has anyone else had the same problem. Are the replacements direct bolt...

I lost cold air in the A/C unit a couple years ago. My mech (not a dealer and very good) re-charged the system and added dye. The charge lasted for about two years. Fast forward to two subsequent charges (and no leak location identified); the last was in July prior to a ~1200 mile road trip...

I was driving on a hot day at full blast AC and pop noise heard and AC stopped blowing. Assumed it was the blower motor or resistor. Took down the whole dash, ordered part # 87138-90K00 for new resistor, checked the blower with 12V and works fine. Tested electrical on the actual switch part#...

Hooking the A/C components back up but the smog pump is not in the best shape. Any alternatives to putting an idler wheel in there to adjust the tension on the belt without using the smog pump as an idler?

I was quite impressed by the ice cold A/C today while driving my 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser. In comparison to a 2021 Toyota Tundra and 2023 Toyota 4Runner, it’s substantially colder. I was curious as to why the A/C was so much colder. I did notice the 2016 200 uses R134a refrigerant vs. the newer...

Early on this year, i retrofitted a full a/c system from a 1991 import HDJ80 to a UK spec 1994 HDJ80. I found the whole wiring loom complete, and the retrofit wasnt particularly hard to do, as i had the dash out anyway to replace a leaking heater core. Unfortunately, i pulled the system from a...

I've had A/C gremlins for a while and when I finally tracked it down a severed wire I thought I had solved it. I did some searching back then and came up dry so I did a little ghetto fix of my own, which lasted me a year or so, but recently gave up the ghost. I would really like to track down...

What does the MUD braintrust suggest for R134a valve core replacements and where to best buy them? I've just spent 10 minutes googling for Japanese/Denso replacement valve cores and the best thing I've found was questionable "Denso" valve cores from Ali-Express type website. I've just finished...

Hi, Does anyone with a 1998 Land Cruiser have an A/C compressor fan on their truck? I'm asking because mine doesn't and looks like it never did. I'm curious as to whether or not 1998 model year trucks didn't come with one. Later model year ones appear to have them. My A/C works fine when...

Hello all - I'm looking for the definitive instructions (hopefully video) on pulling the a/c evaporator/expansion valve housing from under the dash, on a '86 FJ60. I'm replacing all of the A/C components and converting to R134a. I have new Denso components : Compressor 471-0204 Evap core...

Looking for a new A/C condenser for my 1989 FJ62. Denso 477-0146. Got crushed when I hit a deer a few nights ago. Any help procuring a new condenser would be much appreciated. Thanks.

My a/c blows ice cold when I first start it up in the morning after it's sat in the garage overnight. It will blow cold for the duration of that drive. However, once it sits in the parking lot somewhere and the sun heats up the truck (Tucson, AZ), it doesn't blow cold at all. The air will...

I'm not sure if there's a problem with my LC200, or if this is "just how it is", but, if I turn on the between-seats refrigerator, this of course engages the A/C compressor, and then I get cold air blowing into the car. Is that normal? If I just wanted non-chilled outside air blowing in...

So I'm resto-modding a Land Cruiser HJ45. Someone had put a Vintage Air unit in there, which worked fine, but then stopped cooling. The brackets were real hackjobs, with one of them attached to the exhaust manifold, and the compressor was bolted to the alternator, which made belt tension...
