My SD is having some auxiliary fan issues. Or perhaps I need to check my fan clutch. During these hot days in SoCal the car is taking a long time to make cold air. It really gets cold on the highway. Two things are possible here - fans or rpm. On 134a (what I use) I may need a little more rpm to get the compressor working. It wasn’t a problem when I serviced the system.

Or it could be the car was just blistering hot after being parked in the sun.

I haven’t heard my auxiliary fan in awhile. I haven’t missed it because it makes an obnoxious whine when I pull into my garage on hot days.
