OnionMan Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi guys, Had my air con re-gassed last week and everything worked fine. However a week later and the aircon is dead again, compressor won't engage - basically the same problems I had before having it re-gassed. I popped the bonnet and say a lovely trial of UV dye around the pipes coming from the low pressure (I think, one at the back) valve which seems to mean the valve has died. Now apart from asking myself why I didn't think to test the air con before I bought the car, I am wondering if it is a serviceable item or if I can get another valve assembly and where from? And if anyone has the part number for one handy incase I need to make a phonecall tot he local Toyota Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The company who re charged your system, should be able to supply and replace your faulty valve for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i ve just had my aircon sorted, had to have a new aircon pump as it seized and regassed, i think its a common fault with the supes, the bloke how done mine said that the pump has bearings inside it thats what goes on these pump but you can service them and replace the bearings if it not to late, in my case it was way to late, your best bet is to phone up someone who just does aircon they will tell you or will sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionMan Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well after having it checked out It was found that the leak is around the receiver/dryer and this needs to be replaced, as well as the expansion valve probably. Garage I took it to couldn’t tell me how much to fix, said I must bring them the parts and they will fit them once they figure out how to get to it, wasn't very impressed so would rather not get it done there. Anyone know of a good garage around Worcs/Bham that know what they are doing that could replace them? Ibrar do you do such work by any chance?

SuperSupraNA Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sounds like a similar problem I'm experiencing. Think they will need to get the dash off to get to it, which can be quite time consuming and expensive. I got quoted $1350 to fix mine (450 quid), mostly labour costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
