GLC43 Wimpy A/C

Anyone else have issues with the A/C taking a while to cool down? Mine takes about a minute to reach full cool, and letting it idle doesn't seem to help much. Dealer said it was 'normal' and MBUSA recommended using another dealer. I have 15 year old cars that are freezing cold within 10s, seems pretty pathetic to me.

Now that it's getting warm out again, man are you correct. Thankfully I love the sound of the exhaust and turbos on my 43, so the windows stay down most of the time and I don't sit in traffic hardly at all. The fan is super loud when you turn it up as well.
But definitely plan ahead if you want to cool down lol. Once it gets going it's strong though.

bought my 43 in Seattle last July 4th and drove it back via road to the sun (Glacier NP and TR NP). Some really hot days on that trip and then here in Chicago. No problem cooling and same as all my other cars with 2 exceptions. 2006 Legacy GT was a slow cooler and my 1986 GTI which shot snow from the vents it cooled so well.

I agree with MB. Different dealer and complain until they fix it. Get a new one on the lot and compare.
