Fellas Its getting real hot here in NZ, Does anyone know if the aircon unit can be modded to run cooler because the standard unit is very average.

Run it on recirculation?

Like I just looked the Temps for NZ. I'd barely be crackin out the shorts.

Also this

This probably is not the cause of problem, but it's such a good tip I thought I'd share it, as we are on the topic of Stinky A/C.

We all know the recirc button works well and it can even save you fuel in summer and on long trips. Not only does it cool the car, but it strips the air of humidity too. But after your car is cool and dry, more humidity enters the air via your breath and your sweat. Stinky stuff.

So, 10 minutes of every hour, and the last 10 minutes of every trip, push the recirc button off or turn it to fresh (depending on model) and, then, the humid air from outside, as it drops its water, will help to rinse your body fluids of from the internals of your Air conditioner. Its no wonder they stink!!!!!

It's also the fastest way to cool your car, as the air temp outside is cooler than the interior, at start up, turn to fresh, and wind down a window, this pushes the hotter air inside your car out the window, replacing it with the cooler outside air, (which starts being cooled by the aircon). After a few minutes operate as normal again.

I have seen incar smokers use the last method, but by turning the fan (set to fresh) to flat out and aimed at your feet, smoke goes straight out the drivers window, which would be wound down an inch. Works best one smoker at a time.

Mate the humidity in auckland can be a real killer, Nothing like queensland mind you

Mate the humidity in auckland can be a real killer, Nothing like queensland mind you24 degrees at 9pm here. And 90% humidity.

Put it on recirculate.

If that doesnt run cooler, then i'de check your air-con.

assuming that NZ 380s have climate control, set the temp to 18degrees, leave the fan on auto and the vent selector on auto too. let it take care of itself.
itl work its guts out to bring it down to that temp - or if deep freeze is desired, turn it to the blue dot, fan speed max :D

does it feel like its just not getting cold at all, or just lacking in coldness? how about the humidity, is it able to knock any of that off in the car? if its not then prolly ac gas is running low - which would prolly suggest a leak somewhere...
