Air Conditioner Help

[tj5693]

Hello,

2015 LR4 owner here. Having an odd air conditioning issue and hoping someone can provide some help.

I don't know what "normal" temps are, but A/C isn't cooling the vehicle properly. When setting the temp control to 60, the measured air temp coming out of the two vents (L/R) in front of the driver is about 63 degrees. I'd say it's definitely cool, but not COLD. The measured air temp coming out of the two passenger vents (L/R) as well as the rear vents is about 88 degrees.

Is this a matter of needing a refrigerant refill/recharge, or something more? What's throwing me off is why the driver side vents are cooler than the others.

Thank you!

Low freon levels would cause the issue you described.

Thanks - is this something I can fill myself? R1234YF? Special gauge needed I assume?

Yes, different connectors than 134a; I haven’t seen the new freon in stores anywhere, seems to be only available online (and it’s pricey)
