Ok - I have a 2008 GS 460 and I have noticed that my seat coolers don't work 1/4 as well as the 2008 ES300 seat coolers in the loaner I have... anyone else have this issue? I have complained about this to the dealer before and they tell me this is normal, however, this is my 2nd 3GS, and the first vehicle had GREAT seat coolers... have later models gotten worse?

mine are worthless, they just blow hot air.. but im out of warrenty. so there is nothing i can do about it. but from what i have seen, there is just a fan in the seat. nothing to actually make the air cold.

 

I love them. What I learned at a meet two weeks ago is there is a filter UNDER the seat and if its dirty/clogged the seat coolers will become much less effective. Put your front seats forward and reach under the seat...there is a filter under there!

 

I just checked and didnt see any filter.

 

man i wish the 2gs had a seat cooler.. even with the AC blasted in my GS.. im all shivering cold but my back is still sweating =/

 

same issure 07 gs350 seat cooler isnt as strong as the loaner ES350. if i turn mine on i won't feel anything but if i get in a loaner even thru jeans i feel the breeze... add it to the many mistakes in the GS

 

Mine blows cold.

I have to check on that mentioned filter under the seat if there's such.

 

it blows cold but not as strong as the ES or loaner

 

ES will be different. Both my Lexus are the same. It makes more noise but they do blow cold air.

I need to check out this filter also. Someone take some pics and post.

 

I will ask KayGee to post....

 

mine blows cold sometimes and sometimes i dont feel crap.

 

mine worked when I first got the car now I feel that it helps but I cant put my hand over the seat and feel the air like I did when it was new

 

Mine still blows cold. Only had new 2IS's as loaners and they don't feel nearly as good as my much older 3GS. Never had an ES loaner, so I'm not sure if they're actually better.

 

My 09 gs350 only 6 months old seems ok but when i got a is250 loaner it seemed much stronger Could it be from treating the leather seats ? Partially obstructing the holes ? Just a crazy thought
