General Newbee Climate Control Question

[Fluke32]

Hi
I have just bout a 2013 Punto Jet Black. Previously I had a 2011 Ford Fiesta for 9 years. My Punto has climate control whereas my Fiesta had air con. My fiesta air con would get freezing cold instantly. My Punto doesnt seem to get cold much. I set it to 16 degrees but its not getting anywhere near as cold as my Fiesta. I have pushed all the buttons I can but no luck. I have had the car a couple of days and already love it.
Thanks in advance.

Your AC probably needs a basic service (refrigerant amount check, pressures etc.).

Thank you I will get it checked. It feels like it doesnt have AC.

ATS often have a voucher on Groupon,

That's how I do mine,

The system isn't majorly powerful.. But should at least work

Use it at LO setting for best results

See if it dries the windscreen on damp mornings also.. That's 50% of its usefulness in the UK

Thank you. Coming from what can only be described as an Arctic blast to this is a change.

Mine was only COLD at 9 months old, but does still clear windows effectively
