More A/C Problems?
Has anyone else had problems with their A/C during this heat wave?
My temp gauge is reading fine. THe A/C just seems to be struggling with this heat and not getting quite cold enough. Works fine in the evening though.
IIRC, the AC can only remove so much heat from the air going across the coils. It seems that the maximum amount varies based on the refrigerant, but let's say it is 30 degrees.
When it is 80 degrees outside, that means the air coming out of your vents would be about 50. If the ambient temp is 105, the vent air will be about 75. Stick a thermometer in your vent and see what it says...

There is truth to that, my Xterra is so cold I have to turn the thermostat down because its on the lowest blower setting and still freezes us out most days....but lately I have it wide open and turned on the max air in cabin filter thingy, still it can't keep up.
