So all of a sudden my AC stopped blowing cold and is blowing around ambient maybe a bit lower. I tried recharging but that did nothing.
So you have a refrigerant recovery/recycle/recharger machine then?I'm going to try the RCV then take it to my mechanic.
Ok, gonna run a few scenarios by you. Im not saying these WILL happen but given the nature of what happens when most people try to fix a TDI "on the cheap" or cut corners some or all very well MAY happen.I'm going to try the RCV then take it to my mechanic.
And which coil might that be?check the coil's resistance... they are also known for going bad.
Do you have acual air temps at vent. Itll tell alot initially. Different people have different "whats cold" values. An auto parts store will have a generic vent thermometer.On my 2011, we've replaced the compressor control valve and had a shop properly charge the system. The A/C now blows cold when the car is moving but if I get to where I'm going and let it idle to circulate the oil to cool the turbo the air seems to be about the temperature of the fan blowing vs a/c. Any ideas? Thanks & God bless.
No I've not checked actual temps. We had it and my wife's 2017 Camry sitting side by side both on same settings/fan speed and her's is colder while sitting still.Do you have acual air temps at vent.

When these a/c's are right theylll freeze you out.
What are the temps./fan speed @ under (?) different conditionsNo I've not checked actual temps. We had it and my wife's 2017 Camry sitting side by side both on same settings/fan speed and her's is colder while sitting still.
It feels normal when moving but when I pull into a parking lot or something and stop, it feels like the fan is blowing with the a/c button off.
