MattR 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 Hi all, Recently bought my 86’ and noticed that the aircon is busted. Toyota have diagnosed it as being a damaged pipe from the Condenser to the Evaporator (and quoted £700 to fix it ofcourse) so I’m going to just buy the part myself and get a local garage that has the gas and will do it for a reasonable price to sort it. However, I’m having trouble finding the right part for it. Does anyone know which of these parts is the one I’m looking for? https://www.subaruparts.com/auto-parts/2015/subaru/brz/limited-trim/2-0l-h4-gas-engine/hvac-cat/condenser-compressor-and-lines-scat The garage also gave me the part number (TSU 003-A0010) but haven’t been able to find reference to that anywhere else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem you will also find is that 99% of your local garages will not stock this gas and the lowest price I've seen a full regas on the R1234yf is around 200-300. I would establish what gas is used in your GT86 by popping the bonnet and next to the latch you will see aircon sticker which will tell you if you've got R1234yf(Expensive) or R134A(Normal/cheap) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment I’m worried about trying to source the part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they probably gave me their own internal part # as I haven’t been able to find it either - even a garage with access to a Toyota parts list database couldn’t find it - I guess it just references back to a Subaru part any way.

Church 209 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 There is also possibility that they gave PN for some set/assembly, not individual part. I'd try to search on your own some online db with schematics & parts list. Eg. i have bookmarked url with online lookup of part numbers for Scion FR-Ses (which share most of parts (including part numbers) with Toyota). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it probably is a set, they said something about it including the seals too. 4 hours ago, don said: I probably should have mentioned that I've checked Toyota parts catalogue and it doesn't list it in there. They have possibly taken down the wrong P/N when quoting you. You'll find it easier to seach for the part you need by removing the T at the beginning. That's not part of the official P/N but defines to Toyota if it is a Toyota or Lexus P/N. Ok thanks I’ll have a look! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine has been in to a garage called Fitch Auto’s in Walsall. You’ve seen some other unfortunate soul to be having aircon issues! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattR 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 In case anyone has this problem in the future, my system has been fixed. It turned out to be one of the compressors and also the daylight sensor (which strangely effects the aircon). My main take away from it is DO NOT GO TO TOYOTA (Bromsgrove) they diagnosed it as a leak in one of the high pressure pipes even though the system was not losing pressure, which either tells me that they didn't pay much attention when doing it, or didn't understand how to fix it - I'm not sure which is worse. Always get a second opinion, if you live around the West Midlands area then Fitch Auto's have been fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
