A recharge is possible for the reason of A/C blowing hot air. Do you see the A/C light blinking when it is turned on? If so, it usually means there is something mechanically wrong with the A/C, particularly the compressor or the expansion valve (a common problem noted in the '92-'96 ES).

I've got a '93 ES 300 blowing warm air thru A/C
Was told by a mechanic to recharge it. I've gotten a can and a kit but having trouble finding the LOW valve. Could someone help in describing where to look or point it out on a picture? thanks

Thanks George_Jet
I've actually seen that fitting before as I was searching for it. Isn't it a bit small though? the fitting seemed smaller than I've seen in my other car(mitsubishi), also LOW end.

Dammit, I've just noticed that my system is R12!
Doesn't look like it's a DIY anymore, looks like I may have to take it to the dealer. Does anyone know how much they would charge for a recharge?
