Ac Air Temp

Never tested it but if you're unsure I'd say you have a right to be based on the fact mine is cold from the moment it goes on. I am suitably impressed with its performance.
I've been thinking the same thing but put it down to the size of the area its trying to cool along with the current heatwave. Normally i find it works ok but mine does seem to be struggling at the min.
Well I measured the temp today it was reading 32 outside probably less, and the vans ac was putting out air at around 7-8deg so it’s probally me as it’s rarely this hot in the uk!.
But I was surprised to read on the VW website that a cars AC can loose up to 10% of its refrigerant a year!.
Probably hence why Vw kindly send me a letter a month ago touting for a ac service!.
I will probably get it done next year just before it’s 3 years old!

It seems to vary a lot between cars, I remember an E39 5 series I had back in the day that blew air out really cold and nothing I had was quite like it until a Jag XF I had where the air coming out the vents was so cold it physically hurt holding a hand in front and you had to move it. The air coming out the T6 vents is nowhere near as cold, but it's enough to cool the van down, it just takes longer. My current Volvo air output temperature is somewhere between the two. Hired a Lexus once when in the states and the AC in that was magnificent, went from sweltering 35 degrees and massive humidity to ice cold within 30 seconds of starting the engine.
