The climate control is designed to use minimal a/c compressor time and compensates for it with a higher air flow. If it's not cold enough turn the temperature down, if it's blowing too hard then turn the fan down. And also don't be afraid to use higher gearing to get the temp down faster inside a hot cabin. The auto FGs barely sit at more than an idle under normal driving so the compressor is hardly moving, whack it in performance mode or lock it in to a lower gear and you'll be freezing your nuts off in no time.After reading the majority of the posts in this topic it seems"TAB" its impossible to freeze your nuts of in an FG. Glad Ive got BAs and BFs. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71807-hows-the-ac-on-a-hot-day/page/5/#findComment-1058923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it reads low and your still not cool enough , its time to buy a car with a decent A/C.

Prudent if you are setting your climate to "LOW" and it's not cool enough then there's something wrong with it and you need to get it looked at. If it's functioning correctly you'd end up with hypothermia leaving it on that setting all the time.

Its 38 in Perth at the moment and we just went for a 20 min drive with the aircond on max cold and its barely adequate. I give it two thumbs down.

I now have cool air but the following problems1)Poping noise coming from arm rest/gear sh*tft area. It happens randomly while driving but I have heard it when I turn the car off2)When going around a corner, I've felt water drip on my leg, so stupid thing has a leakAnyone know what number 1) could be Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71807-hows-the-ac-on-a-hot-day/page/5/#findComment-1059110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
