Hey everybody,

Just a question about the airconditioning system. the other day it was about 23 outside and i switched on the A/C but it felt more cool than cold. i bumped it up to the max and still didn't get any chill from the system. but yesterday i drove the company toyota van (it was also 23 outside) and when on low fan speed i felt goosebumps. comparing the two id say the van was more or less the type im used to. im not sure if there is a problem with my A/C in my car but maybe i just need to re-gas it. any comments or comparisson with your cars would be great.

cheers,

Thim

I have noticed that the air conditioning on my Aurion somewhat doesn't feel as cold as I remember it was when I first got it. I'm guessing though that this is more of me getting used to it more than anything. I only use my aircon for about one day a week though.

Even though the temperature was the same outside, did you have more air flow over the radiator in your van than you did on the Aurion when you were making that comparison? Simple things like that can make a big difference to the air conditioning feel.

From my experience on fan high its cool. on low fan its ice cold. I even had my air con replaced recently(kangaroo, hello!) and the same thing- cold on low, cool on high.

Is that on the fresh setting or recirculate or both ?

i've always found that when using the A/C, recirc is the best way to give you maximum coldness. however don't leave it on recirc too long on long trips, CO2 is not that good for the brain, tires you out a bit, and thats dangerous. every now and then i switch between fresh and recirc, and no worries about falling asleep at the wheel! hope that helps!

yea i dunno just my personal opinion, i don't reckon the aircon in the Aurion is anything special. i was in my friends 05 Astra and it seemed much better in comparison to the Aurion

Got to remember that the astra has much less cabin space than the aurion... I've never really had an issue with the coldness of the aurion air con... I actually find that even on the warmest days the air con gets too cold... Especially in the foot wells

Actually guys, slightly off topic - Yesterday I took my Aurion for a run for the first time in about a week... cranked up the Aircon and noticed that there were some very acidic fumes coming from the aircon vents, has anyone had this problem? If so is there an easy fix or should I be taking this to toyota?

I would be taking it back ASAP may indicate a leak in the system.

Thursday during a drive in 30+ temps the aircon was useless.

Set on feet/chest, fan high, coldest setting the car was hot.

Set to chest only it was better, but still not as cold as the aircon in my other Aurion.

There was a hint of an unusual odour also, not one I've smelled before.

Any ideas?

Could need a re-gas and maybe the cabin filter needs a change, I noticed an improvement in the air quality when I had mine changed

Mine seems pretty cool on any fan settings, no problem on recirc

Yeah, I thought it may need a regas, but wanted to check if anyone had a similar problem that had a simple fix.

The car has done 65K and my other one has 69K and still works fine.

Went for a drive with the temp at 30c, had the air con on, I had to decrease the fan speed because it was freezing me lol. Will probably get the filter/regas all done anyway when I take it to the dealer

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
