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.

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.

Sr models dont have a cabin filter.

Can the thermostat be adjusted? replaced?
My 07 SR5 has never been quite cool enough compared to other cars owned

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