Heres the deal:
If my car sits till mid afternoon when it has been baking in the sun all day and I get in and start it up, the a/c is not as cold as it usually is. Even after running for about 10 minutes. If I get onto the highway and start cruising around 75 or so, the a/c gets to the cold level that it should be.
If I get in my car early morning before it bakes in the sun or gets super hot out, I can run the a/c and it is super cold. But once it sits in the sun, it takes awhile for the a/c to cool itself down.
I am just curious if this is common in older cars or there is something I can do to prevent it. The a/c is already converted to r-134a and was checked and there were no leaks.
This one seems like a head scratcher since the a/c isn't out of free-on but acts like it is when it is hot outside on the initial start up.
