Hey,

I've done a bit of a search already but couldn't find much info.

I just picked up a 11/05 sr dual cab. And the air con isn't very cold. Is there any easy fix for it or known issues before I take it to an aircon place and they charge me and arm and a leg??

Thanks, Mitch.

Take it to a/c tech could be thermostat or low on gas

Compressor clutch is stuffed or needs regassing.

How is the engine coolant temp? If it gets too hot the a/c switches off.

Check to make sure the compressor is engaged at operating temp.

How often do they normally need re - gassing?

The air con is working. It's cold but nowhere near as cold as my gu patrol I just got rid of.

Might need regassing by the sounds of it.

Thanks

Check your in cab filter behind glove box. A clean might improve it a bit.

Yeh pulled that out. Pulled the fan off from the bottom. No filter in there that I could see

Sr models dont have a cabin filter.

Yeah SR models do have cabin filters from 2006 or 07 onwards

Can the thermostat be adjusted? replaced?

My 07 SR5 has never been quite cool enough compared to other cars owned

Start from easiest cheapest part...replace/add gas?

My 2013 SR5 a/c is nowhere near as cold as my 98 GU Patrol, I just thought it was normal for the Hilux.
