Default Air Conditioning Problem???? HELP!!!

I have a 2000 GS400 and Im having some problems with my A/C. It only blows cold if I have the temp on 65. If I take it about 70 its blowing out warm air. Anybody have any idea on what the problem might be? I just took my car in last month for the 60,000 mile service at Longo and they mentioned nothing about the A/C having any problems.

If you have any ideas let me know and also maybe how much it would cost to get it fixed?



Thanks a lot!

Sounds like you might have a problem with the control unit not working properly. Because if you had a leak it the ac system it wouldn't blow cold air at all.

I have the same problem that it only really blows cold air at around 65-68 degrees. Oh yeah, also have water on the driver side floor. Im gonna lask LuxuryMotorWorks this weekend to see if he has any ideas.

Look on the brighter side. At least you have the option to use A/C during this time of year. The weather up in NorCal sucks right now.

LOL.....Well I called Longo this morning and they said they want to charge 164.00 just to look at the A/C system. Luckily its been raining here for a while. I live in So Cal. Ill probably have it checked out in a couple weeks. Im so tempted to go get a 06, but I will wait for the end of year blow out sale.


thanks!

well before they charge it make sure they check to see that the system is working properly

also charging the system is rocket science

shop around

Well the 164 is just to inspect the whole A/C System. I dont think it needs to be charged. I just took the car in for the 60,000 mile service about a month ago and they said the car was in perfect condition. Ill make an appointment in a couple weeks...its not hot here right now anyways, but if its a computer problem, I know its going to cost a lot.


Thanks!
