Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Refilled Freon twice since I bought the Car in November 2012.  It is a temporary fix.
Eventually it only blows hot air, and Freon levels again are super low.  Where else could
there be a leak and what might need to be replaced.  One mechanic says compressor,
another says compressor is fine since it actually blows air well.

A/C compressors don't normally leak, evaporator cores and condensors are more prone to do so (especially condensors, as they can get hit by stuff due to their position in front of the radiator). I'd start off looking at the condensor and then the evaporator, the latter may be tough to check as it sits inside the dash.

I went to the mechanic who changed the ERG valve in and reset the code. He said its a generic code and he couldn't do anything else. I went to the toyota dealer who said they would have to change the vavle again since that's the code!!! the smog shop couldn't help they don't give detailed info on 2000 and above vehicles. So I need to pass smog and no one can help. it could be anything with the PO 401 code. I need to find out what it is and fix it. it's a 2000 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. 7 Answers
