[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Just wanted to see if you guys are having the same prob, before i take it
to the dealer, a freind has a focus and the car at work is a corrolla and
no problem with AC gets cold pretty quick, my civic it takes awhile to get cold but it is getting
cold..... I live here in cali and its starting to warm up, when its around 90 deg. it takes a
while to get cold and to maintain the temp It has to be close to full blast, does anybody have the same prob
and if you took it to the dealer did they fix it? thx for the help

Rep Power: 0 oh I have a 2002 with 5000 miles in it, its been like that ever since I bought it
I dont think it is broken because it is getting cold, just making sure its abnormal
or if your ac's are the same then I wont take it to the dealer, I can deal with it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 What color is your car? If its black with a Black interior it going to be warm for a while. My wife just bought a White CRV and if you park them side by side the CRV is about 15° cooler and the A/C gets colder faster. Just my 2¢

Rep Power: 0 My a/c doesn't get that cold quick either. It eventually gets cold, but it takes awhile. I am getting ready to take it to the dealer...The day I bought it the air wasn't working, and the dealership fixed it and said that they had just forgotten to connect the part with the antifreeze...but I am begging to wonder...

Rep Power: 0 The vic is my first dark colored car. I had 2 white ones before the vic. I have noticed the car to be hotter but it could very well be a mental thing.
I will say that the a/c does take a few minutes to get really cold, no doubt about it.

Rep Power: 394 Well 2 things that I have talked to mechanics about. First, my dad had a 89 Ford truck. That stuff got really cold, really quick, reason being it was the old A/C system. Dont know if it is R-14 or R134, or something. Secondly, I asked my mechaninc, and he said the A/C is only supposed to get about 10-15 degrees colder than it is outside. So if its 80 outside, you car with A/C should be around 65-70. Kinda weird huh?

Rep Power: 0 I put a thermometer in my Civics A/C Duct and it was blowing out at 63° but the inside of my car was still 85° inside after 5 minutes. My wifes 03 CRV which is white also blows out at 63° but it was 78° inside after 5 minutes. Black cars with Black interiors take forever to cool down. The first thing a A/C tech will do is put a Thermometer in the A/C Ducts and see how cold it is before he ever slaps on a set of Gauges.
