My A/C isnt really cold for some reason. The car is pretty much new less than 1 year old and it seems that I have to turn it to max cool all the time to get the car cool. I have tint which reflects alot of the heat already but for some reason the A/C isn't as cool as my other cars.

My X5 A/C wis blistering cold where I would have to shut it off on hot days.

anybody else having a similar problem,


thanks

I have noticed that in both my Black Series as well as my 2008 ML that unless I am cruising at 45mph or higher that they blow non-cold air. If I'm in even partial stop and go traffic they start blowing almost warmish air and if I am in bumper to bumper, stop and go traffic I might as well be blasting my heater. I'm not sure what the deal is but other people I know with newer M-B's have complained about the very same issue.

Yes, I have seen the same thing as the OP, but not as bad as jrcart is describing.

I have been thinking about bringing it in.

I do notice that setting the temp a couple degrees lower tends to help.

I wonder if it is just the climate control being smart a$$ and thinking it knows best. Instead of getting 45°F air you get 55°F air.

A service manager told me trying to make assumptions on the health of the AC system with just a thermometer will not work.

Have you also noticed when you have manually turned off the AC, that sometimes it seems like it is still on?
