Q: How to fix A/C works intermittently or cuts out during driving in Toyota Auris II?

Replacing the control valve (solenoid) in the compressor body. This does not require replacing the entire compressor as long as the system is clean. Toyota often suggests replacing the entire compressor (PLN 3,500). The valve itself costs PLN 150-250 and is replaceable from the bottom of the car after removing the cover. Always check that the valve resistance is approximately 11-13 Ohm.
