Speed of A/C cool-down?
OK, here's something I have been researching for a while but have not been able to find an answer for. The A/C on my '97 S420 gets nice and cold with an evap temp of 39-40 *F, but it takes a L O N G time to get there. I'm talking almost 10 minutes when the car runs at highway speed.
My S320 by comparison gets down there very quickly, say 2-3 minutes. A glance at the A/C diagnostics looks normal to me. Coolant temp stays at around 185, refrigerant pressure sits at 8-10 while on the highway and will climb to 14-15 when going slow or idling. Anyone ever seen this?
