Default AC is not cold at all

Hi,

What do you guys do for that uncold AC? Do you know where I can buy a after market raditor? I head if you put a bigger raditor, will help it a lot...

Thanks.........

Hey search for a previous post about the air cond mod. It is very easy to install and can help a little bit in getting the a/c to become colder quicker. That and using your a/c a lot to break it in. copper piping/pvc insulation from any home depot / lowes and a lot of zip ties to cover the a/c line coming in through the firewall will do.

Don't know why you get that feeling..???

the AC in my BOX is just ice cold at mid-nite without the sun..

I think Toyota should give the ice pack to every Scion owner..

Whoever told you the radiator had something to do with the A/C was beyond wrong, Two completely diferent systems. The best thing you could do is only use reciculate when you want it CCCOLD that way you won't be try'n to cool the hot outside air all the time. The fresh air mode is for when its cooler out and want fresh air coming in through the vents while the windows are cracked
