Making air con colder

[johnni]

Hey all

Just wondering how I can make my air con colder as it isn't as cold how it is, will a re gas do it or is there anything else that needs to be done

Thank you

I agree, the VE aircon is crappy, I wonder if there is a simple way to make it colder. Changing out the compressor maybe?

I assume it is a VE commodore as this is where you posted..... Is it climate or normal A/C ? How old is the car ?

And my a/c isn't crappy its like a friggan ice box when i max it out

Having the air on recirculate can help, once the interior has cooled down a bit I've found its a bit cooler than using fresh air.

Oh, and +1 for the ice box comment.. mine is fantastic, it may not be the fastest system to cool down but any drive longer than 15 mins with a/c on flat and its icy cold

You can try and get the temps colder when you re-gas. But you risk icing up the system potentially.

System will only ice up if the evaporator temp sensor malfunctions.

Mine is nice and cold, so it's not a problem with the VE like iUte said.

I'd take it to an auto elec that does air con and see what they can tell you. There's nothing we can tell you to do that will make it colder.

Mines plenty cold enough too, even on fresh, that I prefer to run it on.

I think i just expect too much from my Air Con, both the VE's I've had AC's have worked about the same.

They don't work anything like the Toyota Landcruiser AC units is all I mean, those things just about leave frost on the air vents.
