i have just has my aircon fixed. new compressor new magnetic clutch regas. but am i right in thinking that when you have the aircon on you should get a pool of water under the car ?? im not getting any water under the car so is it working properly aircon working fine but could be colder......

 

as the evaporator cools the air, it also dehumidifies it, and the condensed water should come out of the HVAC box from a drain tube(s) onto the ground

how much water comes out depends very much on how humid the air is and how long you've been running it.

how well it's working is not easy to say just by giving you a figure like measuring the vent temperatures, as it depends on so many factors like outside temperature, sun load, engine speed, humidity etc.but generally if the air con takes over 20 degrees out of the air temperature going in to it, it is doing alright.

hth

 

Just cos your not getting a pool of Water on the ground doesnt mean its not working. My Passat hasnt yet, though the aircon is working VERY well. As said all depends really how humid the air is.

Silly question but is it blowing cold? If so its working
