Air Conditioning, how cold does yours get

RSmith · Jul 2nd, 2012, 12:32

I would like my air con to blow a bit colder, even set to low its very cool but not as cold as I would like it to be, does anyone else think it could do with a boost.

use thermomitor place in vent and get reading off then update what it reads

I thought it was just me! When we had that short hot spell a while back I was a bit disappointed in how not cold the aircon got, but thought I was just imagining that it was "warmer" than my old XC90. We haven't had much chance to try it out properly in the UK this summer, but the other day when it was very humid, it wasn't really as cold as I wanted it either. Not just me then....

When we were in France in May the temperature was in the low 30's (C!!) and the air-conditioning worked fine for us.

I ran the car for 3 mins with the aircon set at low and blowers on full, I used a Maplin thermometer that I've had for years it registered 6 Deg . It went as low as 5.8 at one point but came back up to 6.

Most unlike a Scotsman to waste fuel (money), to keep cool.

I leave my Air Con on auto all year and set at 19C. Works well, no matter what the outside ambient temperature is.
