Gurgling Air Conditioning Noise IS200t
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ost-119-a.html
Just found the same gurgling a/c noise problem on my 2016 is200t after I read the post above. Does anyone have the same issue on your is200t?
The A/C works fine, I have no idea how long it lasts. It seems like in the hot day, the sound would go away. I know there comes TSB with RX350. Not sure if this is common for is200t too.
The sound is quite similiar to this one:

Does the A/C work?
If yes, then maybe you can describe the gurgling in a little more detail...when do you hear it? how long does it last? etc.
When the A/C system is filled with refrigerant, there is a small amount of room that is occupied by air. This allows for some expansion and contraction of the gas due to ambient temperature.
Under some circumstances as that small amount of air passes through the Expansion valve (located behind the dash) it can cause a gurgling sound as it circulates through the system.
It's possible it may be normal, but hard to say without hearing it.
