I like it like a sauna. I wish it went higher than 28.

I trust you have the centre vents on COOL(io) ?

Also if you AC needs a recharge the temp will be hotter than indicated on dial.

Is that with the AC on? If yes, perhaps you need to take that outfit off?

Inside air temperature sensor could be insulated with a layer of dirt.

I would open the centre vents as the cool air compensates for the hot blown below and on the screen.

That's my point if the AC is discharged you may get a hotter temp than desired. Funny but true in two recent RR that had discharged AC the temp was (much) hotter than indicated on dial.

I hope you not running the SC with AC off to save a few pennies Stan as we all know it should be on 100% of the time as its conditioning/drying the air not simply cooling it. Remember those ECU's..... Whistle

Is there a way of checking the AC on FF's? On my old cruiser there was an eye glass in the system to see the level but on FF's there nothing. If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

If the air comes out very cold its working otherwise you will just get slightly cool air.

i've had the a/c on all the time in this wet weather Gary, it helps a great deal in keeping the condensation off the windows...

It really is (very) good policy to simply leave it on Auto all the time. Two lights on the control knob. Cost of extra MPG is minuscule.
