Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting A/C Problem when hot

Hey Tour'guys,

I have this A/C problem since Aug of last year. When I start my Mystique, air from a/c is very cold. Go on the Highway no problem still cold, but If I get into city traffic stop and go with a outside temp 85 +, the air out of the wents becomes warm. Radiator is working, I checked it.

Clean the Condensor in the front of the radiator with some water (bugs and crap), It was missing a bit of freon so the local garage filled it up.

A friend that works in HVAC told me that he is 100 % sure it is from the high pressure side that is defective.

Last summer the Weather here in Montreal was not really hot and humid like this week-end, So the problem is more frequent now.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks for your time,

Mario
