Had my air con regassed at Ollys Benz on the Green GTG back in May and been happy with the performance until this week when the temperatures got up 30c+

Although still blowing cold from the vents, it wasn't cold enough.
Messing around with the controls, I turned the dial for each vent to the 9 oclock position for the air to come from the dash vents only.

Wow, what a difference having had them set for dash/feet previously.
If your a/c isn't working as it should, just check the setting and it can make so much difference.

Mine blows ice cold when blowing from the dash vents. When you start sending it all over the car, it's nowhere near as effective. As long as the driver is cool and comfortable, that's all that matters! ;)

You can also switch the recirc on. Rather than drawing baking air from outside and trying to cool it, it will further cool the already coolish air in the cabin. You won't steam up because the ac is also a dehumidifier.
