So a couple weeks ago, we were driving in our 2001 Toyota Sequoia and had the A/C on at the coldest setting, and the highest blowing air setting, and it didn't get very cold. It was obvious the A/C needed to be recharged. When we got home, we got the A/C charging can of refrigerant and connector. We turned the vehicle on, put A/C at full blast on coldest temperature, and the connecter, the thing that goes from the can of refrigerant, to the A/C high port, did not fit. It was to big. I know that R12 A/C got ditched back in 94-95 because it ruined the earths ozone, but R12 in a 2001 Toyota Sequoia? Or do luxury Toyota's have their way of making things more complicated.

My '01 was R134. Hire someone competent to evac and recharge your AC before you hurt yourself.

 

Something is not right here. R12 went away back in 1994 (or close to then). Your 01 should not have R12. Simply stuffing a can of freon in won't fix it. You need to have someone determine what the problem is and get it fixed right. Might be a simple fix.

 

You're doing something wrong, your Sequoia has R134a, as does every car sold 1995 onwards. And if the A/C needs to be charged, there is a leak in the system. Refridgerant doesn't "run out".

 

I looked at the yellow label under the hood and it said it was m something 134 sooooo I geuss it's the same? gauge didint fit
