R33Gtst Average Air Conditioning

[wat'r]

Just wondering...

Had a new compressor installed.... rest of system checked out all good.... still cost $2000!!!

Anyhow.... I have connected a second electric fan on a remote switch and still the AC is only average whilst driving and only 'coolish' at traffic lights.

Is this normal or should they spit ice ???

hmmm sounds odd mine is nice and cold even at traffic lights?

i would take it back. should be 5 degrees give or take at the vents. if its average whilst driving where the condensor is getting good airflow across it then maybe the gas level is over or undercharged. get them to put some gauges on it and put a good thermometer down the vent.

should be in general maintenance btw

mine was 3 degrees at the vent!

If the system is fine then sounds like a gas issue as said above. I think mine is in need of a gas but it's still nice and cool most of the time

Depends on where you took your car for the A/C repair, my A/C repair came up around $1.5k for replacement of compressor & receiver dryer + degas & regas.

holy crap im gonna start up an air con business.

Could be one of your air diverter valves. It could be stuck or busted and is letting the air go through the heater core?

They tend to give some trouble, just an idea considering you just had the AC system serviced and it should be ice cold..

Yeah, got bum raped by labour costs & the shop used brand new OEM parts *cough* massive over price *cough*.

EDIT: on a side note, I seem to have a problem with my bottom air vents (the ones that blowi air on your feet), they will open when I turn the whole system off?

thought that was normal? just to keep little bit of fresh air coming in...if not we have the same problem haha

Check the actuator arm behind the climate control (I'm assuming the car has this) actually moves when changing the temperature, it could be stuck in between (dry solder joins deteriorate and crack on R32s, R33s could be the same problem)
