Shall Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) I have recently purchase an '04 'Subaru Forester, it's been 100+ here most days since I purchased it, I need the AC to work and it does not work properly. When I first fire up the AC to Auto, the fan goes to 4, (high) and I have the temp set on 70 ish. It will blow cold air for a few minutes, then it will start getting warm, it will stay this way and I wind up turning the AC off and putting the windows down. I want my AC! I have tried taking it off Auto and doing it all manually to no avail.... still hot air. I turn it off wait quite a while and then it's cold again for a short time. I have tried leaving it on but turning the fan down and it's just been to terrible to keep it like that..I have tried starting from Manual too and not using the Auto and no luck!!. I am in a sweat box then, the windows must go down. Any suggetions would be very much appreciated. Edited August 15, 2010 by Shall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Welcome to the USMB. It sounds like your AC system needs some service, either needs more refrigerent, or something else. However, to diagnose the problem, the system pressures need to be read and watched. Unless you want to buy all the gauges, I'd highly suggest taking it to a shop and having them diagnose the problem. It may be as simple as putting in some more refrigerent, but without performing some sort of diagnostic tests, it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
