2005 Pontiac Vibe air conditioner not working well
The air conditioner in my 05 Vibe barely cools the car off on a hot day. I have taken it to the dealer and they say it works per GM specs. I took it to an independent repair shop and they said it is working fine but is undersized for the car and their is nothing they can do. I live in the Pacific Northwest, a hot day here is 85. Is there anything that can be done to improve the AC in this car?
i am certified in auto aircondition so i can help,your air uses r134a have pressure checked should be 40 to 45 psi.the thing with 134 is when ideling or driving in sloewr trafic it dose not cool like it would on open highway.a easy fix to this and we have done plenty of this,take it to your mechanic have them vacume system down,and replace with frezze 12plus recomended oil for compressor,you will feel the difference,have mechanic tag it changed over to frezze 12.
