Weak a/c--are these pressures OK?
I have searched and read numerous posts, and I'm still confused.
Tested my a/c today, and got the following readings: '98 ML320 static pressure: 110 ambient temp: 80 (rose to over 90 during test) RH: 65% idle: 45 lo, 220-240 high 2000 rpm: 30/170 after the pusher fans kicked in and stayed on constantly: 40/200 at idle center vent temp, fan on high, recirc off: 62 vent temp, cruising 40-60 mph: 55 vent temp, accelerating: 52 Usually takes a long time to cool this vehicle off; do these pressures indicate an undercharged condition? In another post I found that the ML320 holds less refrigerant than my Golf; I wonder if that's why the Golf's a/c works better.
