Hi everyone, I have a question about the A/C on our car.
Recently I had to drive the Lancer 2010 of a friend while I was fixing my car.
I noticed on the Lancer that the A/C blow a lot of cold air and I have to say I enjoyed the A/C on this car
So now my car is fixed since a few days and I started using the A/C (I didn't use it that much before), the first thing I noticed is that the golf doesn't blow cold air as the Lancer does. I asked a tech and he told me that a golf will never blow colder air than a Lancer, because the lancer use a clutch system while on our car it's some kind of sequential system, so it does use less fuel and it mix cold and hot air so the air inside the car should be comfortable and it reduces the risk of catching cold. But even after 20-30 minutes of driving, the air wasn't really cold like it could be on the lancer, so I opened the windows and the wind was colder than the air coming from the A/C... (Well it was more refreshing than the A/C) I was about 100km/h and it was 27 celcius outside
Is my A/C normal ? I don't think I have a leak and the tech told me that I can't ask for a refill, since a car shouldn't need a refill except if there is a leak and if there is a leak, it needs to be fixed before refilling, also the air coming from the A/C was a bit colder than the exterior air, I also hear sounds when I start the A/C so I think the compressor works
It it normal for our car to not be able to blow super cold air like others cars ? I set the A/C to 18 and I can say that the air inside of the car or the air coming from the A/C wasn't 18 but more
Edit: I find out what the tech was talking about, it's call Climatic and it's a semi-automatic climate control, when you set it to 18, it will blow hot or cold air depending of the temp in the cabin, on a side it's a good feature because it regulate automaticly, but I would prefer a fully manual A/C like on the Lancer where I can decide when I want to blow cold air or hot air, because even if it's 18 on the car, that doesn't mean it has cold my body... I will have to get a tool that measure the ambient temperature on the cabin so I will be able to see if it's really at 18
