AC temperature is fine. Nice and cold. Actually, I experimented recently, by giving it a shot with some after market stuff that claims to make the AC air even colder. Guess what, it did slightly!
Problem now is, after a drive with the AC on(no matter what the fan speed is set to), say at least a 20 minute drive, the air velocity out of the vents significantly decreases after that consecutive with AC on, 20 min drive. When this happens, for your reference sake, fan speed 3, would feel like fan speed 2, and 2 would feel like 1. Sound wise, it almost sounds like something is restricting internally. The blower is spinning like it should, and sounds healthy, but the air simply ain't coming out of the vents like it should bbe.
Interestingly enough, while this symptom occurs, if I shut off the AC compressor via the AC button, but leave the fan on, within a mere 1-2 minutes, I can feel air velocity coming back as it should! At that point, I switch the AC button compressor back on, and all is good for another 15 minutes about, until I have to repeat all that again to make it work fine.
I've thought about water or even ice accumulation somewhere within the air network, choking the system, but the question I ask to some of you is where is this occurring? If that is the case that is.
