[Vwdiesel] off topic: air conditioning

[Val Christian]

Was the AC anemic in the morning?

Wondering if there is a marginal charge.

A frequent failure, for me, is that the AC clutch goes as the 
compressor gets more hours on it.  

I would pull the cable to the clutch, and see if it gets 12V
when you think the AC should come on.


Report back. And we can discuss the next step alternatives.


Also, I don't consider AC off topic.
