Question

Basically, as the title says.
I thought the stream of air was supposed to be quite a lot cooler when air con is switched on ? I had it on today and didn't really notice much change in temperature when I turned it off

Will there be a prob with my air con unit ?

Any help gratefully appreciated

Cool

Sum guy at work reckoned if u turn on air con with it on recycle mode when the windows r steamed up it should clear it straight away.
Dunno how accurate that is but i find air con is much colder than normal so dont sound promising
Good luck.

You should notice some difference, although I've been suprised how crap the a/c (sorry semi automatic climate) is on mine compared to my last car, which would freeze you in seconds

Sounds like you need a re-charge.
Mine went on company civic,and they had to pay £90 for a gas re-charge.
You may get it cheaper as I didnt haggle,due to me not paying the bill.

The air con on the Scooby isn't great, ezpecially when stuck in trafic. Mine seems a lot better on the move. Had it recharged last year for about £70 including a full check.

Thanks everyone. Sound like I'll have to get it looked at. I'm sure it is not as cold as it should be...and summer is comin !
