    A/C fluid level

    Anyone no how i can check the A/C fluid level, as it has stopped working. Relay klicking in, but no movment from condenser/pump unit. Guessing its that low fuid cut off sensor thats on them.

    Yea, so if anyone knows how or has an A/C system diagram they can post, that would be helpfull.

          Marky is indeed correct... however there is a bubble sight glass on the drier... and if you see bubbles then it needs attention. It is worth getting your a/c checked out, regassed and check all your seals. A new drier the tube in front of the rad behind the grill is only about £30.00 from Toyota and should be changed every two years... I'll dig the part number out...

          Really got to give mine a thorough going over... need to find someone to overhaul my compressor...

            Ahh, but Fluid means a liquid or a gas, so is technically correct here

              and gases under pressure become liquid.........

                also, gases reduced to a low enough temperature become liquid. That's how they bottle methane.

                  With the system at rest its all liquid. Run the aircon and the liquid boils off in the evaporator, goes through the aircon compressor (pump)as a gas, then into the condenser (external a/c radiator) and turns back to liquid. The gas phase carries heat from the cabin and the liquid phase dumps the heat to atmosphere. Easy as that

                          Wow, so is was right without knowing it.
                          Well thanks for clearing that up people, but i can't seem to find this window in the system were you can supposedly see the gas/fluid (whatever state its in) bubbling away. Read about it on the forum.
                          Could anyone describe its location? Cheers.
