Ac pipe part number

[regularnothing]

Im in the process of fixing my ac and ordered a new refrigerant pipe since it has a muffler attached and I’ve seen you should replace them instead of flushing them if it has a muffler.

I ordered part 88717-6A190 through Toyota because I thought his was the right pipe but it’s mostly the same but not quite

I tried confirm on the Lexus website before ordering that it’s the right part before ordering through Toyota

I then called Toyota asking if I was sent the wrong one and he said the right part number was 88717-6A200 but I’m not even sure anymore.

Did I accidentally order one for front ac only
Also what pipe is the new one supped to connect into too where the old one is just a long pipe the new one has a threaded connector

Should I just try to flush the old one and send it or no?

Input your VIN #, at www.partsouq.com. It has, the best diagrams, and one of the most accurate PN # for your vehicle..

I just did and it’s showing me the 88717-6A190 and click on the picture it looks likes the new one I ordered and then that connects into a pipe 88717-6A140

But I’m just confused because why is the one in my lx just one big pipe but on the diagram it’s two.

Anybody?

Perhaps yours was modified, during a repair.

FYI, i just replaced mostly everything in my AC system as well. That isn't actually a muffler. There are no baffles in it. It's just an expansion tank or something as it's empty inside. So, you should be able to flush it fine.

Also, the other "muffler" on the line that connects directly to the compressor is also not a muffler and is also hollow inside.

I flushed it and put everything back together and am now getting about 40-47 out of the vents in about 80 degree weather so pretty happy with that. It’s been about a week and so far it’s been solid.

How much oil did you add in total?

So which ended up being the correct part number?

Not sure just used my old one and flushed it.

Been working fine so far.

I added 4oz to compressor
1.4oz to to evap
2oz to condenser
The rear ac had to be blocked.

Give it some run time for oil to distribute. If under 44f with OAT of 86-95F, all doors open, 2K RPM, AC on full RECIRC. You may want to add 1/2 oz. oil.
To much oil, AC runs warmer. To little oil, AC runs colder. To little can burn up compressor.

Whats the current consensus of total PAG oil needed for a 100 series with F&R AC? Everything I see hints at 9 OZ total.. Accurate?
