Has anyone noticed that the air blowing out when the a/c is on is not very cold? Does anyone know if there has been any service bulletins on this?

 

mines is DAMN COLD even at 72.. i leave it pointing straight up..

stick ur finger in the vent.. u'll see the coldness!

only problem is, i notice that as soon as u turn the a/c off.. damn it gets hot reallllllll quick in the car.. it cannot retain the cold air.. weird! but hey it has temp control so yaY! i leave it at 72 always..

 

I have noticed it does not seem cold when is very hot outside. What I do when this happens is to run the rmps up & that helps the compressor, & it gets cooler.

 

Definitly feel the same way in my civic, on hot ass days the air was cool, but definitly not cold, later that day (when it got much cooler) i noticed it was damn cold, i wonder what does that?

 

I have noticed the same on my base RSX the air just doesn't get that cold. Only, at night when it is not so hot.

 

well lets think about this for a second....if its hot outside and you are cooling the air just as much as you would if it was cold outside, the a/c will be cooler when the air outside is cooler....its common sense.

 

Air conditioning works by removing heat. Technically speaking there is no thing as cooling, you just remove heat. As the outside ambient rises the condenser coil gets warmer. You want to maintain at least a 35 degree difference between the temp outside and the condenser (outside 35 degrees less than condenser temp). http://www.howstuffworks.com/ac1.htm
