called the dealer about my a/c, while its baking in the sun for a few hours it doesn't cool down as fast and he said its normal it normaly takes 15-20 minutes for it too get cold

any ways i put a gauge in my a/c vent on max-freaze at the highest fan setting its 44 degrees is that good or bad or should it be slightly colder then that???

the only wany to combat my problem is i park in the shade and it gets about around 90-100 degree in the car while in the shade, i aint gonna test it in the sun too see how hot it gets no way

this is my good cheap fix it

i believe 44 degrees is where it should be. I live in AZ, and yes, it takes a little time for it to cool down. I think 15-20 minutes may be a bit too long though. Mine takes about 5.

 

it does take me 5 minutes for my car too cool down in the shade

when parked in the sun it only takes me 15-20 minute drive to get home so yeah thats F-ed!!!

with the a/c on and its still hot in my car when i get home

 

44 degrees is pretty good. I took the temperature of mine and it read about 47 degrees.

 

Yeah, that sucks!

Are your windows tinted? Do you use a sun shade? These would help the crappy Scion a/c a little...

44 degrees sounds about right, but I'm sure other cars get/feel colder. My old bucket (91 civic) used to give me the chills if you left it on full blast for more than 10 minutes. The xB needs the a/c at full blast just to be comfortable.

no there not tinted or have a reflective sun shade,

i do have a crazy surrealistic idea though got some of that

Reflectix like bubble wrap chrome on one side and white on the other cut a bunch of pieces to fit all the windows and get a bunch of suction cups and hang it up on the windows or just on the front windows and windshield or i just continue parking in the shade at work

its just an idea anyways

would using that same stuff be used to wrap the a/c lines under the hood be a good idea???

 

If you were gonna do that, you could just cut cardboard to fit each window. That would be cheaper and easier.

But definitely look into some good tint and buy a sunshade. It really helps.

i already have the Reflectix stuff dad has it laying around in the storage unit for at least 10 years

and i know i should do window tint, i probly wait till winter time to do that

 

I just crack my windows when I park. Works fine for me. I suppose I should get those vent things... but it was 95 and sunny the other day, got in and it wasn't too hot, AC cooled it right down.

 

i just don't want to get rain water or bugs in my car only dust

 

I crack my windows, too- and the sunroof. I suppose not everyone would want to do that, but I just open them a tiny bit- can't even get a finger in. It helps alot, though- the heat won't build up the way it would if the car was totally closed up....

 

The last time I left my windows cracked just a bit, it rained SIDEWAYS!!!! Took forever to get the seats dry.

My windows are tinted, but it takes at least 5 minutes on high before I can really tell it is getting cooler....

 

referring to someone saying 44 degrees is okay; though this may not seem much, my moms 95 civc pumps 39-40 degrees...that's chill...ill try the tsb soon though

 

normal for scions is like 47 tho tesh they wont and cant make it much colder.

 

there is a TSB for the AC, i just had them fix mine and its alot cooler now. the temp is suppose to be around 32 degrees
