Hi folks

Had the aircon recharged and serviced in a Toyota main dealer just over a year ago. Noticed a few months ago the aircon wasn’t working properly, not cooling the air, and a slight hissing noise coming from the interior vents. Brought in back to main dealer and am being quoted circa 700 for a new condenser fitted, due to a leak.

Have rang a few places to get other quotes but can’t find anyone to do the job.any advice?

Try an a/c specialist? If the condenser is gone it'll have to be replaced.

Different style of compressor but to replace condenser is not any different not sure why you are having issues with quotes.
