preludecrazy Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 There seems to be a problem with my dad's new Supra. I've tried every combination of button presses & dial turns to get cold air to enter the car (except the window-down button!) while the car is moving - without success. Turning on the air conditioning makes no difference to the temperature either. Even if the air conditioning unit needs re-gassing shouldn't cold air still be entering the car? P.S. Anybody got a recommendation for a re-gassing company around Cambridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 cold air ? not recently! If you do a search on this bbs , Phil explained how to get the error code from the climate/heating system ... holding both `double' buttons in while turning the ignition to `on' . I got mine regassed by a small mobile compny based in maidstone - a bit far from you , but the regas cost about £65-70 , so that's an indication .... the a/c is now ice cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preludecrazy Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 Originally posted by Myles cold air ? not recently! I was asking for that!...but seriously, if you're driving, at say 50mph, and stick your hand out of the window it gets bloody cold, even on a hot day like today. So I figured the air vents should feed that cold air into the car (with the temperature turned down to minimum). If you do a search on this bbs , Phil explained how to get the error code from the climate/heating system ... holding both `double' buttons in while turning the ignition to `on'. Yeah, I read that post prior to posting this topic, but I couldn't match my results with the scanned pics - mainly because I wasn't sure of the codes down the side - probably help if my dad had a manual. The error codes, well what I saw flash!, was all the air cooling related LEDs flashed on/off 4 times, then the green LED above the fresh air button (symbol of arrow going through windowscreen) and the orange LED above the front windowscreen button flashes alternately (seemingly forever). What does that mean? Also, what is the gray cap/dial (with the letter 'H' on it) next to the air con glass viewer for? BTW, I've run the engine at 2000rpm for 1 min and I can't see any liquid or bubbles!....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 ...I always find that on hot days , with the heater temp at minimum , the air still feels hot , but maybe I've been spoiled by a/c . The results you're describing sound the same as when I did that test .... Hopefully Phil/Terminator (or anyone else who's been there) will confirm this , but the fresh air led flashes to say low/abnormal system pressure & the other one might be because you did the test in the dark(??) . You seem to know as much as I do about the grey cap ..the a/c guy will hook-up to it when regassing ....which it sounds like you'll need .
