Thanks for your helpful input.

Have you had the AC recharged recently?

Thanks for taking the time to read.

​Also, he doesn't ask a question. My input was quite appropriate imo.

Sorry it's doesn't seem cold enough is there any common faults? Had it recharged about 2 weeks ago, it was low on gas before so wasn't very good but doesn't seem better now it has correct amount in

I was going to get mine done this week after discovering how crap my a/c is this weekend. If it doesn't make it any better I may not bother...

Did they leak test it first or just fill it with gas??

My sister got charged £69 at kwik-s**t to fill her gas and by the time she got home (3 miles max!) it had all leaked out.

 

[totti182]

Yea it was done at the garage where I work, had it leak tested first, the re gassed. It just doesn't seem to get that cold!

Stupid b*****d.

Well that escalated quickly!

Stupid b*****d.

​I expected a little better tbqh.

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

I'm too hot and exhausted. Been a long weekend. Hot sun, no hair and ginger skin don't fare well old chap.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Need another Holocaust.

9.5c sounds pretty cold to me.

 

[danward]

Had mine regassed today for £30 (they had a great offer on) and the difference is great, feels icy cold now. Unable to give a temperature reading though.

 

[aaronevans93]

Well mines alright

 

[Tony Hunter]

Mine hasn't been touched from new, still good, not that I use it that much.

 

[Adamm.]

I'm going to try mine out later today got a few bits to do this afternoon so should be perfect as driving round with both windows down can get noisy!

9.5c sounds pretty cold to me.

Had mine regassed/tested not so long ago and it was pumping out 5c

However the climate control is a bit weird, sometimes it'll pump out ice cold and the next even though the AC is on it'll still be pumping out as if the AC isn't on (that non fresh half cold air you get). I turn off the CC and just have the AC on it works fine again, change back to CC and it continues to work great.

Odd little system.

Mine isn't working either which wasn't great for a drive in France recently. Going to get mine checked out.

Cool, thanks for sharing.

lmao, ive gotta clap to this. best answer yet, clearly!

and whats more irritating is i have exactly the same problem as totti182. s**t air con f***s me off.

These cars are generally getting on 9years old now, very lucky if air con is still working correctly (some well informed previous owners running the system regularly). I have a mechanic mate who regasses mine when I service/mot, but must have a leak as it generally only lasts around 3-4months before pressure is too low and condensor doesn't 'click' on. Luckily we are in a country where the requirement is minimal .

I'd imagine the O-rings will have dried up and shrunk on the majority of cars over 6-7year old, resulting in ineffective systems. But the cost of fixing seems unjustifiable.

...jerry springers final word: if it aint working the extra 5bhp you get with it being off will allow you to drive that bit quicker, to allow for excellent cross-ventilation, eliminating the requirement for your aircon
