Hi all,

We have a 2000 Toyota Tarago and we're wondering about the rear air vents marked "cooling."

Are they supposed to put through refrigerated air from the air con or are they literally just air vents?

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon, there's a separate blower motor + cooling unit for the rear of the van and the A/C lines run to it from the front, so you should get cold air in the back when the A/C is running.

Thanks for the response Full-Throttle...

That doesn't appear to be happening although we do get the cold air in the front. Any clues as to a cause?

You should have a separate A/C condenser in the back of the van for the rear A/C. This could be clogged from debris over the years and may need cleaning or replacing. You'll need to re-gas the A/C if you remove this unit, but it's cheap enough to do these days and certainly won't hurt. We call them Estimas here in NZ and they're all Japanese imports, but the Tarago should be virtually the same. I've attached a diagram below of the rear blower unit in your van, and some photos of the rear condenser being removed/replaced (photos are of the latest shape ACR50 Estima but the ACR30/40 should be the same). If in doubt, I'd highly suggest taking it to a proper air conditioning specialist for their opinion and diagnosis :)

Mate, that is more help than I could ever have asked for. Thank-you so much. Was definitely something we were concerned about going into a hot Aussie Summer.

Thanks again mate! Next time I'm in Wellington for work, I hope I run in to you so I can shout you a beer! (assuming that's where you are in NZ).
