Bear with me, it’s another complaining about the weather thread... fifth hot day in a row here (SE England) and yet again my car air con is like a mouse breathing on me. Had to ferry DS2 around for a few appointments today and it was close to unbearable.
I have a 10yo, underpowered Skoda. My mechanic (who’s generally very good) swears he topped up the coolant when he did my MOT last month.
Is air con in cars a function of how expensive or powerful your car is? My dad has a (second hand) top of the range BMW and it’s like sitting in a fridge. My SIL’s Alfa Romeo sports car’s air con also worked like a dream when she gave us a lift the other day.
Do I have to change my car to get working air con? Or is it more likely there’s just something wrong with mine? It’s never been great but the last two summers have been ridiculously hot, i’m just wondering if my car’s unit just isn’t powerful enough to cope.
