How Many Grams of Refrigerant Should Be Added to a Toyota Reiz?
2 Answers
Toyota Reiz requires 800 grams of refrigerant. Below is some relevant information about the Toyota Reiz: 1. Introduction: The Reiz (REIZ) is the domestic name for the Japanese Toyota MARK X model. It was produced starting October 2005 at the Tianjin FAW Toyota Plant No. 2, sharing the production line and chassis with the Crown, and equipped with the same six-speed automatic transmission as the Crown. Production ceased in September 2017, with a total of 528,188 units manufactured. 2. Powertrain: The REIZ Reiz utilizes FR (front-engine, rear-wheel drive) technology. Like the CROWN, the REIZ Reiz adopts the world-class mainstream FR technology, and the perfect match of a six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode ensures outstanding acceleration performance and excellent fuel economy.
I've repaired many Toyota Reiz air conditioning systems, where the refrigerant charge typically ranges between 600 to 800 grams, depending on the model year and manual specifications—usually indicated on the hood's nameplate. Insufficient refrigerant leads to poor cooling and prolonged AC operation, potentially wearing out components; overcharging causes compressor overpressure, damaging both the compressor and piping. It's recommended to use R134a refrigerant and employ professional equipment for precise pressure control during charging, ensuring more efficient and durable AC performance. Regularly checking the system for leaks and refrigerant levels extends its lifespan and prevents roadside emergencies. If uncertain, directly measure the nominal value—700 grams is a common midpoint. In short, handle with care; carelessness is not an option.
