Air Con not cold tonite
« on: April 03, 2008, 09:45:03 PM »
It rained heavily jus now about 7pm. After the rained, I drive off with air set to 25. the air blowing out is warm, then proceed to set to 22, fan get louder, but the air is blowing is still warm. Finally set to 18, the fan was blower very loud, but still warm air blowing out. Finally wind down the window, the the air outside is much cooler.

Wonder is there anything wrong with my air con? Should i make a appt wit TC to check out the aircon?

i always set temp to 25, still very cold tonite.  make sure compressor is on and you are not taking outside air.. should use the air circulation inside button

just thinking aloud,

raining = poor visibility+ slippery = heavier traffic = slower speed. Heat trapped inside bonnet cant get flushed out due to start stop situations, heats up the aircon piping and voila, warmer air!

heh, dun flame me, not proven, jus thinking abit  :bleh:

I experience this too this evening and also same experience with my previous car when the weather is cold and raining.

Think it is some kind of AI (artificial intelligence) thingy at work.  Something like when the car "sense" that the temperature is cold, it trys to compensate.  Had also experience the reverse in hot days when you can feel air-con very cold, even if you are caught in traffic jam.  Something like that la.  (Don't frame me hor.)

for my car, its permanently on cold unless i open the windows while driving. I disconnected the hot water supply, hence, whether its set at 18 or 32, the aircon blows out same temp  :devil2:

We can never judge the lives of others, because only each person knows their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

hmm seems like the only person who didnt feel that way would be me. Probarly due to me not having much aircon and not going for long enough trip as well as not been driving for past few days

hi!

i think there is a thermostat somewhere. think it will compare the temperature inside the cabin and outside and somehow cut off if outside is colder than inside. my car oso got such problem and always happen only during rainning days or outside is cold.

if u guys still feel it warm, try reduce the temp. mine always at 25C if this situation happen, i just lower it to 24C or lower then got cold air out liao lor ;)

Look like most of the bros/sis here also face this problem. Me too had this problem especially in the evening. Need to turn the fan speed to 2 and temp to 23. Dun know if TCM can solve this problem?

I have a theory on my own now. If our body has adjusted to colder temperature outside such as a heavy rain in the evenining (Say 21 degrees). So any air that is blowing out at above 21 degree is felt as warmer.

Just a thought, no proof or whatsoever.
