    Get a thermometer on the high & low side pipe & compare the temperature. FYI, my little Merc C180 Coupe wasn't getting cold at idle, so checked the pressures at idle & 2500rpm. All looked ok, but the vents weren't as cold as expected. Then I...

    Also did they put enough gas in it ? P38 needs 1200g which is a lot more than most modern cars..

    Still worth checking the battery CCA/EN capacity even if it's "only 18 months old" . . .

    You still don't get it. Taller gears require more torque just to maintain speed against drag but you cannot seem to grasp that fact.

    If compressor line is bubbling with system off, it's most likely NRV-1 allowing tank air to escape via the drier. The more the tank empties overnight, then the pump has to work harder in the moring to fill it & raise the car.
