I swear the AC in my 2016 Land Cruiser has been on a slow decline since last summer but I kept topping it off with those cans from the petrol station and hoping for the best and now of course with the humidity hitting that sticky level in August it's decided to just stop blowing cold altogether and I'm sitting in traffic on Electra Street with the windows down feeling like I'm in a mobile sauna. Took it to a regular garage near Mussafah and they recharged it and told me it was fine but a week later it's warm again so clearly there's a leak somewhere and I'm not about to keep throwing money at refrigerant that's just going to vent out into the atmosphere. I was scrolling around trying to find a shop that actually knows Toyota AC systems well enough to find the pinhole or the bad o ring without just guessing and I stumbled across this page exoticautoservices.ae/toyota/toyota-ac-repair-in-abu-dhabi which at least lists the common failure points like the rear evaporator and the condenser that get destroyed by the sand and heat here. Anyone actually had their Cruiser or Prado AC properly fixed in town without it turning into a months long saga of part swapping and crossed fingers? I'm tired of showing up to meetings looking like I just ran a marathon.
