A/C help!!
I have a Lexus ES 300, and recently I have been hearing this sound coming from the right side of my car, at first I thought that It might be the brakes, however, I them replaced, and the sound it still there, I have now, discovered that the sound is coming from my a/c. The sound sounds like a hissing "e" sound, and it is coming from my air conditioning. I was wondering is there anything that I may need to check or replace regarding my a/c??

What year is your ES? Lexus has a campain on the early ES for the replacment of this. PL 1 I think, The expansion valve changes the liquid freon to a gas causing the cooling effect.
I would not do this at home, you can not buy R12 any way with out a cert.,it is a process that takes some knowlege even if I don't know how too spell I SURE NOW ABOUT THIS LEXI'S.

You can not please everyone every time BUT WE SURE DO TRY.

I have the same problem on my brand new '02 IS300!
The dealers are trying to tell me this is a normal noise. Is this true? Please tell me I did not just buy a car that is going to hiss at me for its intire lifespan.
