My A/C works perfectly when I’m parked. Even at 49c. When I start moving it starts getting warmer. The compressor is still running but the air is little bit warm. It’s acceptable when I’m driving until 50 kmh when I’m driving faster than this it becomes warm and humid. I disabled the ventilation door and there is no air coming from outside the car. I checked if there is a leaking but there was not. And the Freon level was okay.
Please advise.

Good afternoon,

What is the high and low side Freon pressure when you run the engine at 1,500 RPM's?

How did you determine the Freon was okay?

Did you check the condenser and radiator fins? If there is any dirt or debris in the fins the air flow will not be enough for the condenser to work correctly.

I don’t know high and low pressure.
I only went to mechanic and checked it there and he said it was okay.
Regarding the radiator I changed recently and I cleaned the condenser from outside. So the air flow is perfect.

Okay, I need those readings to help.

You also have to clean the radiator at the fan and also in between the radiator and the condenser.
