Air Conditioning

[Rik_Biel]

I've had so many expensive problems with air-con over my lifetime I'm paranoid

Today I had wispy almost fog/smoke like air coming out of my vents on my 6000km old XR6 - is this normal?

I had that in my WRX... only lasts for a short while and goes away?? I dont think its anything to worry about

[Rik_Biel]

Yep - that's it - I think it's just cold air....but ....once with my EF it was refrigerant - admittedly that had a distinct smell

[EZ2CME]

Happens to me as well occasionally but only usually on a hot day.

I have seen that before on high humidity days.

If it was refrigerant, you would know by a strong smell, its properly just moisture off the coil!

If your concered, check the sight glass on the pipe work for bubbles in the engine bay.

Was it a humid day when it happened?

[Rik_Biel]

It was today and yes it was pretty humid

Glad everyything is probably OK - Cheers Guys

Normal in situations of high humidity. I can't recall all my days studying thermodynamics however, from memory it has to do with the cold air temp reached and the dew point given the relative humidity. Nothing to worry about.

Either that or I am full of schitt and you will probably die from its effects.

Open your freezer, you will usually see the same foggy mist.

[T007]

Its just mist from high humidity

No problemo

[phantomchic]

I am still ok.... ok .... ok
