How cold is your air con?

Post by WatchcamGTI »

Mines not great in my opinion. I do know modern cars are sometimes less cold due to economy, but interested in what others think. Is your cold, tepid or freezing?

So so really i wouldn't say it is as cold as some cars i have driven but it is colder than outside. I have climatronic the one with the digital display so it keeps the temp at what i set it to.

I have climate too ... Just seems poor. Maybe a hot day will convince me. Thanks for feedback ..

Compared with some other cars I've had it isn't the best by some margin. The Lexus I had could freeze my nuts off! :shock:

Air con guy who serviced my other car last week gave an obvious tip that i hadnt been doing. Drive off and open all the windows to blow the hot air out before turning air on. Obvious i know ... I hadn't been dong it though.

Better than it overheating though! If I leave my iPod in the car when it's warm I have to disconnect it for a couple of mins until it cools down before it will work.
