Well in that case I better get my EVO up and running when
hot comes back around

Also, w/the old squeeky brakes I had before stopped
effortlessly than the new brakes, I've brought it to over
two of my mechanics and they both agreed for me to
change it. Ay yah it never stops w/these cars I tell ya.

BTW Erick just placed it Look forward to it.

Hey SilverMPower! Have you checked the pressure of the A/C system? Could it be low on freon? Is there an Orifice tube/Expansion valve that is dirty or clogged? Are you using the cabin filter with the A/C, if so is it dirty?

old post revived, but i thought id search "C32 AMG weak A/C" and walla, i found this thread!
pretty much answered all my questions.

this summer (bought the car back in 2009) i finally had to recharge my system being at .70lbs left on the freon lol.
anywho same symptoms as everybody here.

the A/C blows warm air and takes a while for pressure to build up, and once the car gets going the A/C blows nice cold air, especially on the freeway, but city driving stop/go ughh..
just sucks how but i guess thats how it is :/
