I have an issue with airconditioning (manual) in a Toyota Corolla (2003), for which I have not yet been able to find a solution or a reason.
The problem manifests itself in such a way that the cold air blowing suddenly stops, and the system starts blowing warm air instead (when on max. cold and A/C on). It can be so that it blow cold for a few minutes when starts to drive, and then warm air.
Stopping the car for a while can help such that it will again blow cold air (for a short while). I have taken the car to an authorized Toyota repair, however, they did not find any problems with the A/C (they filled some cooleant only, and claimed that it should help, but it has not had any impact). They did not detect any leakage either in the A/C system.
It seems that the problem is more frequent when the temperature is really high outside (say, around 23C and above). I do not now in case it can be related, but it seems that the car radio can become mute (no sound at all) at the time when the A/C starts blowing warm air. Also, when A/C works better (lower temps) then radio will also function properly.
I have installed an AUX adapter earlier, which allows me to connect a mobile phone for music playback via the factory radio, could that have caused some side effects with the A/C?
Anyway, I would be very grateful for any helps and comments concerning this issue, as I have not been able to find a solution to the problem yet.
