I did this yesterday on 2007 Rex 350. It was very similar only hang up I had was the bracket on the compressor. Once I remove the 10 mm bolt from the bracket the compressor literally fell out. I also replaced the condenser and total time was about 4 hrs 👍.
Awesome, thank you for your comment I'm sure that will help out a bunch of people 👍
Perfect timing on the video! I've just purchased a replacement for my RX and was looking for a video like this one! Everything that I needed and more was found on this video! Thanks again!
Glad to help boss! Thanks for commenting.
Me too
Are you able to advise where I can buy one for my Rx 270 2012 model ?
Your video was very well done. Took me longer than you, but I did it on the ground and it all worked out. Thank you
Thank you so much for your comment and I'm glad the video worked out for you.
THANK YOU! Your video helped out a bunch. That top left stud is such a pain to get to.
Thank you for the comment. And yeah I think I had to use a swivel extension just for the length to help reach.
I would not have tackled this replacement if not for this video. Thanks for giving me the confidence to save on this $2300 repair!
@@swather85 so glad to hear it!
Wow! What a very professional video with so many helpful details. Would these directions mostly apply to a 2007 Lexus RX350 too?
the Labor rate for replacing a A/C compressor on a 2007 RX350 is 2.7hr vs. the 2008-2015 RX350's 4.5hr. So going to have to say "No" but I wouldn't know for sure in less I had a 2007 in front of me.
This video is a good one. I only cursed a little and didn't even throw any tools, thats a win in my shop!!! There is a bolt on the factory Denso compressor that was just above where the harness bolts to. That one was hanging up on me. I see the LS race motor in the back ground 🙂.
Whats it going in?
Thanks for the comment boss, that LS engine is going into my RX-8 drift car. If I ever find the time to get back to work on it 😞
Great Video, I am just about to start removing my compressor. Question, how did you remove the gray connector thats attached to the compressor? Where you able to use your hands or did you use a special tool?
Are you asking how did I disconnect it or how did I unbolt it? If I'm bolting it I used a 10 mm gearwrench.
How did you remove, electrical connectors is what I meant
@@johntorcomian5223 it's been almost two years since I did the job. So right off hand I don't remember, I know that removing the passenger front wheel gave me access to the majority of the electrical harness and that's how I removed it. It goes over that part in the video. Other than that I don't know if I'll be of much help.
I have recharged the AC, but it doesn't cool and it is warm. Someone told me I should replace the whole AC compressor, but could the issue possibly be because of the sensor flow of the AC? Can I just change the sensor? How can I make sure what exactly the issue is?
Correct, most vehicles have a sensor on the high side and on the low side. If one of those sensors is broken it will not relay that the system has enough freon in it to actually engage the compressor. As far as diagnosing, I would advise you to take it to a shop.
Recharged my AC on my rx350 as well. Was working for a week then went out. Any possible suggestions?
@@Pugdude-z9g there are many things that would stop your AC from working, the first thing I would do would be to check your Freon levels ensuring that you do not have a leak.
Will this same exact method work on my 2008 Lexus RX 350? Because I’m gonna be putting one of these in mine in the next few weeks.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't
Would you be able to see the crankshaft position sensor adter removing the AC Compresor 🤔 I need to replace mine....
i just looked it up and yes the crankshaft position sensor is just above the AC compressor.

Would this apply to a 2011 Toyota Highlander? They both have a 3.5 V6 but not sure if its the exact same engine.
I have no idea. The engines may be the same but the chassis it sits and will be different. You may not have enough room to pull it out like I show in the video.
will this be the same for a 2007 Lexus Rx350?
No idea. This video is only compatible for 2008 to 2015 models.
Kindly asking for advice were I can purchase one for my Rx 270 2012 model.
Where can you purchase an AC compressor for your 2012 Lexus RX270?
Depends on where you are geographically, but any auto parts store should be able to get you and AC compressor.
@@13sGARAGE kindly advise with a name of 2 or 3 stores in UK or USA and I can make an online purchase. Am really in need of one as I can't find it in my country. Even a link to an online store with the item can be highly appreciated
@@jonathanmwandosimpungwe7114 I'd try ebaymotors.com they are probably your best bet for having it shipped to you.
Quick question did the replacement already have oil in it ? Do you need to drain the old unit so you know how much oil is needed in the replacement unit
The unit I installed was pre-oiled from the factory. I would highly recommend asking your parts supplier if you need to add oil or not, and if so how much. That way if anything goes wrong, all you did was what they told you.
@@13sGARAGE thank you for a quick response
@@13sGARAGE I’m sure your shop isn’t any where around me but how much would it cost me to pick your brain a bit about one of these 2008 350 ac clutch?
@@bobbyj1917 what questions you got?
@@13sGARAGE 08 rx 350 bought used ac doesn’t cool checked blender doors all working fine has a charge on the high side gauge reading about 70 pounds low side is about the same start the car and click ac high side will start to drop and low side with start to rise but nothing drastic… more then willing to send cash or any other payment to pick your brain
