No wonder!



Ambient temps ~65F with overcast skies, max cooling, min blower speed. R134a!

Temps fluctuated from 0C to 4C, averaged at 2C. I need a gauge with negative degrees Celsius!

Turned up the dial to 18C, while still using minimum blower speed. Thermometer read between 8C and 10C, averaged 9C. After staying in 0C vent temps for a while, 9C vent temps felt warm!

On my drive home, the dial was set to 18C. But the thermometer read the same as it would in max cooling (0C to 4C cycling back and forth, averaging 2C the whole drive). Ambient temps on drive home was 75F.

What vent temps do you guys usually get?
