On my 2009 Honda CRV with 95,000 miles...
After a long trip on the interstate (3 hours) I noticed a few drops of water on the passenger floor board. Turns out, all the plastic under that side of the dash was cold and covered in condensation. In fact, the side against the center console was like touching ice. The A/C cools, but is not as cold as it once was. A friend let me borrow his gauges and thermometer. Ambient temp is around 90. With the AC on max and recirculating, temp in the center vent only gets down to 42-44. With the compressor running, the low side shows 35-40 and the high side around 250. The high side needle "wobbles" and the low side one does not.
I am NOT an AC man, and hooking the gauges up is about the extent of my ability with that system. Before I take it to a shop, any insights into what I may be looking at?
Thanks
