My Air Conditioning isnt blowing cold. Why is this happening ?
This seems to be a common happening due to the automobile manufacturers going to R134A refrigerant. In the FAQ authors hometown of Phoenix, R134A equipped vehicles tend to blow air that is not as cold as R12 equipped vehicles. R134A equipped vehicles will also take longer to get colder than R12 equipped vehicles. Some people may argue that it takes forever for any vehicle to get cold air during the summer heat of Phoenix, but it takes less time for a 92 Honda Civic with R12 to get cold air then the Authors 2000 V8 Tundra Access Cab. For those of you who didnt know, R12 was taken off the shelves due to studies (?) showing that R12 and other ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs) deplete the ozone layer. The other common theory of R12s disapperance is due to Duponts copyright and patents of R12 expiring a few years back, forcing Dupont to lobby world governments to ban R12. R12 is now required to be recycled by automotive repair facilities.
