Passat (B5) :: Ac Doesn't Blow Cold Air

My a/c is not blowing cold. I checked the system and I went to the a/c shop, they recharged the system. Compressor starts and then it becomes tricky. On other Passat I checked, all a/c pipes get cold right away and stay cold as long as the a/c works. On this vehicle, all pipes become cold for 1-2 seconds after starting a/c. Then pipes shown in red gradually get back to room temperature, while only blue section remains VERY cold.

Apparently, the limit between hot and cold is, on the left pipe, the valve that is used to recharge the system.

Prius (2010-12) :: AC Light Comes On, Fans Blow Hard, But No Cold Air

I just bought my 2010 Prius from a Toyota dealer a few weeks ago. It has 103,000 miles, so it's not under warranty.

I thought the a/c was a bit weak when I got the car, but I always drive it in Eco mode, so I thought that was the reason. It wasn't terrible, just wasn't "ice" cold. Well, today it has completely kicked the bucket. Nothing. A/C light comes on, fans blow hard, but no cold air.

Subaru - Forester :: A/C Doesn't Blow Cold Air Out Of Vents

So, I purchased a 2004 Subaru forester at the in of 2013, from a private seller. When I turn on the a/c the air is warm, I thought maybe the refrigerant so low, so I check the level and it is good, the a/c compressor clutch engages, but warm air still comes out of the vents. I am asking what else could cause the a/c to blow warm air?

Prius (2010-12) :: AC No Longer Blow Cold Air And Rubber Smell When Heater Is On

I took my 200000 mile Prius to a garage that is highly recommended and the mechanic stated that I need a new evaporator and expansion valve. He tested the car for a day. There was no time to do the fix so I arranged for a dealership that I trust to do the job. When they were ready to do the work, they detected no leak in the evaporator, but said that the compressor, expansion valve, and AC line needed replacement. (They showed me the leak in the compressor with special glasses.) After I called the first mechanic with the new info, he said that he could detect a leak nowhere, but, in the evaporator, and, at the expansion valve area. I am now stymied as to what I should do.

Subaru - Forester :: 2006 - AC Doesn't Blow Super Cold Air When Running

I have an 06 subaru forester with a little over 130k miles on it. The AC has now become intermittent and when running doesn't blow super cold air. I had it recharged but that didn't fix the problem. What happens is that it will run fine for like 15-20 minutes or if not hot. The clutch will start by attaching very firmly but then suddenly for no reason will disengage. It is not slipping the belt at all. I dont think that it is a matter of too much air gap because when it grabs it does so very firmly. Also when they were charging it i noticed that the for a moment it was kicking on and off rapidly and then he did something that looked as though he might have released some and it stayed more constant?

Mercury Mountaineer :: 1999 - AC Doesn't Blow Cold At Lower Speeds Or In Traffic

I have a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer with 315,000 miles and pleased to say it’s a great car. Although in recent years during hot days the A/C doesn't blow cold at lower speeds or in traffic. It didn't do this when it was new say 200,000 miles. I checked the coolant charge at it remains fine no leaks, I think at at some point my mechanic did a conversion to the new refrigerant R something. What can I do to keep the A/C blowing cold at lower rpms? I have to add that it will also start blowing warm while driving down the interstate as well.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 AC Doesn't Always Blow Air After Hitting Start Button

Sometimes when I hit the start button it takes a couple of minutes for the AC to start blowing air. I even tried stopping and shutting off and restarting but it still took a few minutes to start blowing. It doesn't do this all the time just every now and then.

Prius (2004-09) :: AC Only Blow Cold Air If Temp Is Set At MAX Cold

My 2005 Prius is having a problem with the AC. It will only blow cold air if the temp is set at MAX COLD. Any other temp setting and it will blow hot air. Really hot air. It makes no difference what the outside or inside temps are. Is there a simple fix for this? I can control the AC by setting it on Max Cold and changing the fan speed, but I would like for it to work on the auto setting the way it is supposed to.

Ford - Fivehundred :: 2005 - AC Will Blow Cold When Running Fast And Then Blow Hot

I'm at the end of my rope! My 2005 Ford Five Hundred Limited has a constant problem with the A/C system and overheating. In the last year I've replaced the compress, expansion valve, dryer FOUR times. They have replaced the condenser, blower motor, and added Freon, and checked for leaks. It will blow cold when running fast and then blow hot. They have replaced belts pulleys, They have replaced the thermostat, fans, coolant reservoir, hoses. and it still overheats. I've taken it to 4 difference mechanics including two dealerships. No one can seem to fix this problem.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - A/C Won't Blow Cold?

So, my A/C in the 2005 doesn't blow cold. It blows, just not cold.

The dealer recommended doing an evac/recharge, which, from what i understand, is there way of finding out where I have a leak.

I took it to my local shop, since the dealer wanted a lot of cash to do this. After having my car in their lot all day, the local fellows called me to say that they couldn't do any recharging/service on my A/C since the coolant is something only the dealer can get (which is a special kind of coolant with special lube in it, right?).

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - A/C Won't Blow Cold Air?

My 2007 Prius does not blow cold air, I bought the car back in March, when the weather was cold, so I never used the AC. I don't use the AC at all, I always roll my windows down if it ever gets too hot, but I recently have guests over, and I turned the AC on as I thought it would be a better and comfortable drive for my guests who are in town.

Anywho, the AC doesn't work. I obviously feel air, and I feel the apropriate levels (low, medium, high), but the temperature is just warm. It is set all the way to the lowest. I was going to fill up the refrigerant, but after doing some research, I quickly stopped and saw that the Prius has a very complex approach to its AC system. I am not sure if this is really a compressor issue, or just having low levels of refrigerant, but I'd love to get down to a basic diagnosis so I can understand what my costs are, and what potential issues it can cause.

Prius (2004-09) :: AC Blow Cool But Not Cold And Unpleasant Whining Noise

I have a 2005 Prius, purchased 5 months ago with 100k miles, and it currently has 106,000 miles.

The air conditioning blows cool, but not cold. When the A/C is turned on, it makes an unpleasant whining noise. I have a recording of it.

It did not make this noise 5 months ago, and the A/C output was colder then. I haven't used the A/C that much over the winter, but it's starting to warm up now and I've noticed it's not doing as well as it used to, and it isn't sounding very good either.

Prius (2010-12) :: Heater Blow The Constant Temperature Of Air

I have a 2013 Prius 4. I'm not sure if there is a problem or not but the heater just seems to blow the same temperature of air no matter how high I set the temperature. The air feels lukewarm. I was driving 60 miles yesterday with the temperature set at 76. I had on a long sleeve shirt and polar fleece jacket and it never got to where I was really warm. Outside temp was about 50.

Prius V :: Radio On Button Doesn't Work On Cold Winter Mornings

Here's an odd one. On our mildly cold winter mornings ~12 degC the radio on button doesn't work. This is regardless of the power status the night prior. What's even weirder if that if climate control is off and you turn it on the radio button is fixed. Earth leak, cold temp resistance, 12V battery?

Prius (2010-12) :: 2011 - Rear Seat Vent Should Blow Air Out Or Suck Air Into It?

I sat in the back of my recently purchased 2011 Prius Three, not III, for the first time yesterday. I learned from this forum that the vent in the rear seat is to keep the hybrid battery cooled. However, while sitting the back during a ride, I noticed it was blowing air out instead of sucking air. I would think the vent should be sucking air from the cabin to keep it cool, but that does not seem to be the case here. After a 30 minute drive, I even felt the air coming out of it was warm and the A/C began to feel that it was not enough for my area in the back of the car.
