Many Lexus owners have experienced air conditioning problems after their vehicle has clocked around 100,000KM. The most common feedback is that the AC fan is running, but the air is no longer cold.
Why Does This Happen?
Over time, the cooling system refrigerant (gas) can slowly leak from the condenser, evaporator, or AC pipes, which reduces the cooling efficiency.
Warning Signs to Watch Out For:
Air blows but remains warm
Cold air changes to warm air after a short while
Unusual smell inside the cabin after parking
What Happens If Ignored?
Compressor may become overloaded, leading to higher repair costs
Risk of complete AC system failure
Repair bills can double compared to early inspection
✅ Suggested Preventive Actions
Regularly check refrigerant pressure
Inspect condenser and evaporator for leaks
Always choose reliable or genuine parts to maintain long-term performance
