A/C - Blows cool when moving & is warmer when sitting still. S90-V90


Is this normal? Cool air when moving and warmer when car is not moving?

    Make sure the cooling fins for AC in front of radiator is not plugged with bugs and stuff. Could also be low on freon (r-134) Some models have a “pusher” fan in front of radiator to help with this common problem. (my 780 does but 940 does not)

    Most 134a cars require just off idle before you really get much cooling.At low idle there really isn't much pressure generated by the compressor. I don't like 134a for this reason. I use 414a for all my conversions but you don't have much choice with your newer car. M.J.
