air conditioning
 

so i was just wondering if 65 was the lowest the climate control goes? if so that is not cold or maybe i need it recharged idk but is there anyway of making it colder like having another button on at the same time or something cuz im convinced i dont have a/c and noone answed my ? on the other site. thanks.:confused:

Re: air conditioning
 

Yes 65 is the lowest. If it is not cold then you need to get the A/C serviced. The easiest thing to do is check the low side pressure first.

65 in a car is pretty cool, so if it is set there and you aren't feeling the chill (especially since you are in CO) then you should get it checked and recharged.

Re: air conditioning
 

With a properly charged A/C system, 65 is a cold as it will get. Probably needs a recharge.

The only thing that will make it SEEM to be colder is to depress the CIRC on the climate control. This will allow you to re circulate air, that has already been cooled, throughout the cabin.

In the normal position, fresh uncooled air is brough in from the outside, cooled and then exits the car.

If you don't feel a differene when it is at 65 when the car is warm, it sounds like it is not working and needs a recharge. Good luck. :)

Re: air conditioning
 

Yeah a recharge or a few other things.. I had mine recharged twice last year and it's warm again this year. Some kind of compressor needs replaced or something.

okay thats what i figured thanks for the help! also i was wondering if it is r34 or something like that ? if so is that expencive to have recharged? 65 is kinda hot when its like 75 outside ya know lol maybe its just me ;)

Re: air conditioning
 

On a normal a/c ststem if you measure the temperature coming through the vents it is usually 55-60. The 65 is cabin temperature.

65 degress should be freeeezzzing cold. What year car do you have?..92' is
R12 and must be retrofitted to R135A (expensive) 93' on, are all R135A (still expensive, just not as bad) If A/C is R135A and working, just not real cold, probably leaking and not to hard to fix. A/C shop and bit the bullet on the bill.

Re: air conditioning
 

i have a 92, so there is no way to have it recharged ? what exactally is retrofitted?

Re: air conditioning
 

Well, its R134a that is the name of the newer stuff and you don't need to retrofit an R12 system to R134a. It is still possible to get it charged with R12. Anyone who says different is deterring you because it is not normally stocked at most (if not all) shops.
