Mine works fine. Sometimes it's too cold.

Mine sucks. I can have it full blast for a whole ride without feeling cold enough to turn it down.

Yeah, I freeze my feet off sometimes. Sounds like something is wrong there. Were are you at? Is it really hot?

HOUSTON It's really hot ! almost 100 everyday. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow!

That's exactly the reason why. It's so damn hot outside that the temp inside the car is simply not cool enough. You can buy a thermometer and put in your went, that'll let you know how cool its getting in the car and at least let you know your AC works but its just not the -32 that you need it to be in order to feel cool in 100 degree heat.

Yeah, mine has slowly dwindeled to nothing, I hit a dip in the road I may feel 3 seconds of a little cool, but that is the extent. I wish their was an upgrade.

Jon

Also, having tint helps too. My windows meter 13%. Temps have ranged from 93-101 the last week and I was always able to cool the car down.

mine is the same but im in cali so idk wats going on with the a/c have you tried to recharge the a/c? that might be the issue not enough coolant for the a/c

Yeah, I live in MD so it doesn't get that hot. But I am currently down in Austin and it is way hotter than MD.

When I worked for TXU I think they said that an AC could only cool about 15 to 20 degrees lower than the outside temperature. I have no idea about a car's AC.

Like the other poster said, keeping out the light is key, solar gain really can heat things up.

Good luck and keep us posted.

He has a new RS 5.0, it shouldn't need to be serviced at all.

HECKZ42

nvm take it back to the dealer and talk to them and see waz up

Not cold enough, but do you have it on recirculate? If not, try it, that might do the trick.

The AC unit can only cool a certain amount over the intake temp. When it's really hot out that may not be enough because the outside air is so hot, but if you feed it the cooler air from inside the car, the output will be cooler too.

ecko04

Its so hot outside his ballz are stuck to his leg, that's what's up but its nothing they can do about it. The AC is functioning properly.

HECKZ42

LOL

juzlookzfazt

Pff..I thought my car was the only one that sucked until I noticed all the AC-sucks threads! Normally its freezing and of-course on the hotter days such as this week, it's been not as cool. This week has been one or two degrees shy of 100 degrees. On other days around 80 or so it works good. So it should be normal, I just wished Toyota put in a better fan and motor. The 2005+ Stangs blow air like a hurricane, which is one of the main reasons why I want one lol. So I doubt anything is wrong with your car.

tc's have ac what? lol jk...i never use mine and i live in kansas...heat index was lik 110 today....i just roll down the windows and run about 80....u stay cool then lol

Heat index is 105 today (temp of 95 or so) and mine freezes me. Coming from me that says a lot since I am warm natured.

For the person that said theirs dwindled to nothing, you obviously have an issue that needs to be repaired, like a leak.

For others, run it on recirc. As mentioned you will only see about a 15 - 20 degree drop over intake temp. If you are pulling outside air, then you are not getting anywhere on a really hot day.

Also keep in mind that the tC has a black interior which absorbs a lot of the suns energy and takes a while to cool down when really hot. Keeping your sunroof shades closed will help. Mine can take a bit to fully cool down when it has sat in the sun. When sitting in our parking ramp at work today in 95 degree temps, but out of the sun, it was freezing in a few minutes.

On some of the earlier tC's there was a tsb to up the refridgerant level on them to improve cooling. If you have an 05 you may look to see if yours was one of them.

Yanki01

Damn bro, you need to get that checked out. it's been too damn hot latley down here. Index 110+ for the past week. Mines cold as hell!!

Trogz

I have the same problem, and I'm in houston as well. I left a thermometer in my car this morning, and I checked it when I got in the car this afternoon. It was 122 degrees inside my car! My car usally cools off to a habitable temperature in about 20 minutes.
