Air Conditioning was not cold air (just purchased veh in Nov 2010) dealer stated prob was discharge line leak, my repairman, replaced discharge line...still no cold air, repairman replaced condenser, air is cold but after running on high for 20 plus minutes air never gets so cold that you need to lower the blower or the temp? Is there another problem? Evaporator? Repairman stated the car temp now reads 58 degrees. Doesn't seem cold enough to me. Please advise. Thank you

How many oz's of charge did you put in the system?What are your pressure's the high and low side?Does the a/c compressor cycle on and off while the a/c is on?Let me know.

Took the vehicle back to repairshop at lunch. Ran the veh for 30 mins on high only slightly cool air. We checked the pressure gage and it read between 35-40 on the low and 2 lbs of refrigerant were added, Per Saturn specs. I did not acknowledge the other reading but the repairman said it read normal. The compressor is running and I do not recall it cycling on or off during the run time. The hose near the dash was not cold as it should be. My repairman is stumped.

I emailed you the a/c pressure spec's to your personal email.The low side reading's are high it would have helped if you would have got the high side reading's as well.When a a/c system is charged up with the right amount and charge and isn't blowing cold to spec's then you look at the pressure's to diagnose the problem.
