I have since put a thermometer at the vent - that way, I can observe the temperature of the air that is being blown into the cabin
Be safe. Go with the flo.

Continuing my air-con saga:
4 years 8 months - Cooling coil leaking replaced.
5 years 6 months - Now sometime not cold. Check by workshop found no leak. Mechanic in JB comment the compressor may need to change (RM400 for recon unit). I suspect the magnetic clutch not good sometime not engage because when you press the "air-con" button, the rpm went up but do not hear the distinctive magnetic clutch engage "teac" sound. Finally found contact loose next day. Unplug and plug in ok.
6 years 4 months - Milage about 120k. Yesterday the compressor completely jammed-up on TPE. Really shitty because of the haze and workshop is closed for the weekend.
