I have a 92 Camry XLE that has been the best car I've owned (249,000 miles on it). The remote that operates the keyless entry and the alarm inadvertently got run over - a lot. Alas the tape has finally worn off and I need to get a replacement. The dealer wants to charge me just to look at it. Any idea who made those systems? I believe it was factory installed. Would I be better off installing a new system instead of trying to hunt down the replacement? Thanks.

We've had an unusually hot summer. When my black 2005 sits out in the sun all day, it seems to take quite a while to cool down, even on recirculate. The interior is light so at least the surfaces aren't hot but it doesn't seem like the air coming out is all that cold. I wouldn't expect the charge to be low on a car only 16 months old. Anyone think the Camry AC is weak relative to other cars they've owned? |

Replying to: lmacmil (Aug 08, 2006 1:56 pm) I thought, in the Camry 4 cylinder (not hybrid) I had test driven, the AC was not as cold as the unit I have on my 03 Camry LE V6, however, (according to their experience) several hybrid owners disagreed. I'm real sensitive to AC -- it's never be too cold for me. The best unit I ever had was in my 00 Camry LE V6. Rick |

Replying to: lmacmil (Aug 08, 2006 1:56 pm) Most modern day systems CHILL the airflow first for dehumidification and then a portion of the airflow goes through a reheat/remix cycle so the outlet airflow isn't so COLD as to discomfort you and your passengers. But then if you want REALLY COLD airflow then put a manual shutoff valve in the hot water line from the engine to the heater to remove the reheat capability altogether and/or the results of radiant heating of the airflow from the close by, VERY close by, heater core. |

Replying to: oracle_of_rock (Aug 08, 2006 3:16 pm) Universally available and cheap Ford Type F or Dexron III automatic transmission fluid will be fine in just about any power steering system except a Honda's. (There may be several European systems that are fussy about their PS fluids, too.)

Replying to: lmacmil (Aug 08, 2006 1:56 pm) An unusually hot summer (polite-speak for days of heckish triple-digit heat?) and a black car put a very high demand on automotive A/C systems. If your car has automatic climate control, cut to the chase and set it to manual, recirculate, the heat control valve all the way to "Arctic Whiteout", and the fan speed set to "Tornado". Set the vents to the upper level, only, to blast your face with cold air. (Ironically, the rest of your bod can be broiling, but if your face and neck are cool, subjectively you feel cool.  ) Don't worry about suffocating with the system set to recirculate. There is adequate fresh air flow through the cabin, nevertheless. Fuel mileage? PHHhhttT! - Your comfort is worth more than a few extra pennies at the pump, even at 3+ bucks a gallon. (In this life, you don't get extra points for needlessly suffering.)
