Re: Aveo Air Conditioning Question

The air in my '05 has never really been great. Except at night, then it smokes. I guess the windows are too big and not UV treated or something. I've never had that symptom though. The fan would be a good bet. That's about the only thing that would make that much of a difference when not moving / idle.

For my Aveo during the day you have to recycle the air, and even then only after 30+ minutes at freeway speeds does it get to what most people are used to. A couple of summers ago, it was like 110F out and the A/C only managed to keep it near 85F inside. But my previous car didn't have any functional A/C, so I guess I've just grown used to it. Or otherwise adjusted my summer travel to when it's primarily dark out.

My main gripes of sorts.
- A/C is weak during daylight hours
- Radio sucks
- CD player sucks more
- Clock becomes unreadable when it's hot out.
- Clock does weird things if you don't drive that often
- Rabbits like to sit on the engine block and chew on the map sensor wires
