This happened twice both when we first experienced the issue, and when we drove away from the car after its first check. Both times we used the 'lowest temp' as a way to assess whether the A/C was really working.. which seems to produce the same result you said.
I'll need to check by putting the A/C to something around 22C or even a tad higher, and see what it does. I know the last time we drove for 3 hours, outside temp was around 26C-29C and we set the A/C to 20-22 and it was working, as we kept looking at each other and I kept making the sign "shush, don't say anything, don't jinx it" aha 
...So what you are writing makes even more sense now. Interesting. Is this related to the power/heat generation of the 3-liter engine or something in particular that is a 'feature' and not a 'bug'?
Thanks again for your precious help, |
I'm not a mechanic or something like that, but I think the A/C can just cool down the temperature by a certain amount of degrees. Like from 34 to 24 degrees or 30 to 20 degrees etc. Something like that.
Might have to do with something that protects the A/C system from damaging itself by freezing some of the components and end up not working at all.
After all, my A/C will get very cold when I set the temperature right so I'm not worried about any malfunction of the A/C system.
