Problems with the A/C system in a 2017 Toyota Fortuner: looking for tips and experiences

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2015 Toyota Hilux. I'm not an expert mechanic, but I do have some experience with cars. My air conditioning system was leaking, which meant that it was no longer blowing out cold air. I had it repaired in a garage because I didn't know how to do it myself. The bill came to a total of 495.0 euros. A leaking air conditioning system can have various causes, such as defective hoses or O-rings, so it would be helpful to know exactly where your vehicle is leaking. Have you already received an estimate for the repair?

Hey, thanks for your answer. No, I haven't done an estimate yet. But the problem sounds similar, so it could be that my air conditioning is leaking. The mileage on my car is now 149219 km, and it was last serviced a few months ago. I will have it checked at the garage at the next inspection. Thanks for your advice, hopefully it won't be that expensive!

Hey, no problem, always welcome! Check it out in any case. And if you have the opportunity, have the workshop fill the system with a contrast medium. This will make it easier for them to see if and where it is leaking. And yes, unfortunately it can be a bit expensive, especially if there are several leaks. A small consolation perhaps, my Toyota has been running perfectly again since the repair. Keep your fingers crossed that it won't be too expensive for you!

Thanks for the tip about the contrast agent, I hadn't thought about that at all. Good to hear your Toyota is running great again after the repair. Damn car repairs can really add up, but hey, what can you do? Hopefully it won't be too bad on my car. Thanks for your help and good wishes!
