Has anyone used the A/C off the shelf charging kit for his Tacoma? My Tacoma A/C is not cold at all, two years ago I took it in the dealer to check up. They told there were no leak, they recharged and it was not cold that much. Any suggestion would be appreciated. My truck is 2002 Tacoma Prerunner, I assume my warranty is over.

I've used them with good success on systems that were in good shape. That said, if the dealer did re-charge and it didn't get much better, I'd guess you have something else wrong besides the R34 charge (or possibly overcharge). You could also have a plugged expansion valve, or non-condensibles (i.e. air) in the system

Your system should have a sight glass (my 2001 is located down in front of the radiator, just in front of the battery on the driver's side). It's a small round glass "window" pressed into a square aluminum fitting on top of a round tank (the receiver/drier). I'd look up the symptoms in the FSM, (sticky'd on this site), and then fire up your A/C and watch the sight glass for comparison.

Beyond that, you need someone with an A/C gauge manifold and some knowledge of A/C systems to diagnose the exact problem. Good luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
