My air conditioning doesn't work as well as in my 1994 ED.

Does anybody have similar experience to me?

I have to leave the control on MAX all the time, to get some relief from the Sydney heat. I run the system in recirculated air mode and the fan on past half way.

With the control off MAX there is nearly nil cooling.

My old car used to cool the car quickly but in the new XR6 I'm sweating.

Is there any way that I can get some better relief? Could the controls need attention or thermostat altered. I wouldn't want to be driving in the outback.

I intend to go to the dealer but if I could get some feedback first it would be appreciated.

In my BA XR8 air cond is great, I'm also in Sydney. Use Max for about 10 mins then fresh at 50 % works great

Something's definitely wrong with your a/c. Both Mrs Z' and my car have the BEST performing a/c I have ever come across, bar none. You should be able to make your passengers shiver when it's 40 outside!

Our ED futura a/c was crap compared to the BA, Even the AU is crap to the BA.

What they both said.

Only issue I do have is that turning it off for a while then turning it on gives out a bit of a smell - as though the gremlins inside the vents are letting rip..

Air Conditioning, How does yours work
