Re: [MBZ] OT Mini-van dual zone a/c

I think I would be complaining to Toyota too. Notwithstanding the fact that the vehicle is 10 years old, why would the evaporator be corroded? I had an 86 Chevy Suburban with dual air and had some trouble with the aluminum pipes under the vehicle being eaten by salt until I figured out a way

Friends don't let friends drive a toada. get a dogde. They run 300 to 350k miles and the A/c works. I see no reason why you can't plug off the rear. Plug em and charge the remaining system. My wife drives a 2006 Toyota Sienna. The air conditioning in that mini-van lost its refrigerant.

[MBZ] OT Mini-van dual zone a/c

My wife drives a 2006 Toyota Sienna. The air conditioning in that mini-van lost its refrigerant. The Toyota dealer wanted $3,595 to replace the corroded rear evaporator and rear refrigerant lines needed to fix the leak. I told the dealer “Air conditioning is nice, but not worth that much to

Operative word here is Dealer... Take it to a well versed independent AC shop and have them put in a piece of line that bypasses the rear evap unit, then recharge the system. The rear unit is plumbed in series with the front unit as far as the coolant flow, most likely. One compressor feeds both

'Certainly should be able to if the refrigerant lines to the rear evap are blocked/rerouted so as to isolate the rear evap from the system and the lines for the front evap are connected so as to provide a complete circuit only to/from the front evap. In '75 I added an AC evaporator to rear of
