Never ever had a car with a working AC

[Kira]

Just to segue into my anecdote, the beaded seats associated with taxi drivers deliver support, not ventilation.
Pay for the heavy wire seating and lower back forms. They breathe.

Maybe find an independent mechanic who is familiar with your car and could fix it at a reasonable price.

Yup.
My AC has begun failing.....breaking a streak of cars with good AC.
It cools well on a nice day but struggles then fails during scorchers.

Just this morning I scoped out and made a Friday appointment with a local shop; new-to-me...neighborhood I love....lots of online praise.
The manager listened to what I 'learned' on car sites.
He appreciated that I had changed the CAF because a CAF change in my car is a huge bother.
Might be low.....

Even in the 70s (F) the greenhouse effect can be severe. I can’t live without ac in cars. In my house it’s a rarity other than a few of the hottest days….

I have genuine sheepskin seats covers in the front seats of my W210. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Year round comfort.
