Cool Air Con MK2 RS

Can anyone out there let me know if they think the AC in their new RS seems a bit naff and not up to the job and seems to struggle in the recent warm spells?? if not then mine must have a problem, for a small car I would think it should work pretty good.

Headlamp washers covers are common on the earlier cars.

The part was revised on later cars with a metal clip to help retain them.

A small cable tie does the same job

See you other thread. Although Registered in June 2010 your car could have been built earlier.
