Air Conditioner in 2005 Chev Aveo
Hi Folks. My wife's car is a 2005 Aveo. She is complaining about the lack of air conditioning. It has good air flow so I checked the temperature. Outside temperature is 88 deg F and humid today (ugggg). Temperature coming out of the vent is 67 deg F. I think that is really good but can't convince my wife.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Grouseman |

Sounds like low freon. With it blowing full blast and a thermometer in the vent you should see around low 40's.

Re: Air Conditioner in 2005 Chev Aveo
Should see a minimum of 30F difference between outside air and cooled air...agree, probably low on refrigerant....

the low side pressure should be 40 psi .if you find its 25-30 psi then this will be a low charge condition provided that nothing is broken. adding 12 oz to the low side until it gets to 40-45 psi ac on max doors open rev engine so its at 1000 RPM ....air temp 80 deg F or so ....never put too much in ... as was mentioned see what the air temp is coming out of the vents. 25-30 deg f below the outside air temp is good. so if its 90 should be around 60 after it has run a while .. make sure the evap drain is working to dump out the water... last year it happened to me a very small piece of tree crap restricted the drain I had to take out the interior rugs it took a week to dry them out .. must of been 4 gallons of water in there . |

Re: Air Conditioner in 2005 Chev Aveo
Hi Folks. Thanks for the advice. Took the car in today and the Freon was low so they topped it up and it is working fine now. I guess that's not bad for an 11 year old car.
