Air Con not working properly?

[AJ]

that might actually be a bit low mx5chic ..........when my old Isuzu dumped it's gas & had the new hose fitted & regassed, the aircon guy told me that optimum at the vents was 5c, any lower & it was hard on the compressor & could freeze the lines

I agree, the ideal temperature on the evaporator is 1-2 Deg Celcius, my system is a little cooler than that but I have been keeping an eye on it checking for signs of Evaporator icing.

Show off

That's so true (Fingers crossed that it stays working and cold)

So which air con compressor did u end up going for?

I bought a Replacement compressor which is the same fit and size as the original unit, bought it from JM AUTOAIR in Campsie, NSW. - http://www.jmautoair.com.au ($300).

Hi Gents,

I just went through this process, and had my AC serviced and regassed in my NB8A. It's cool and refreshing.

I drove the car for a few hours on the weekend - and ended up with a massive puddle in the passengerside footwell. is there a blockage? or a pipe that needs to be moved?

blockage in the drain pipe baron, should run under the carpet & through the floor, remove & clear it & you'll be fine
