I think our cars just have shitty air conditioning. Mine's already been checked out once, because I couldn't believe a new car would have such a lousy system, but they told me it was fine?

It only ever barely keeps up, and then only if I've got the temp to LO, the fan on full and the Climatronic set to recirculation. Lame.

I think it gets cold quick but it doesn't get cold enough. I wonder why.

I'm sure they were worried about parasitic loss when they designed this system, and it's probably underdriven... the compressor probably just isn't powerful enough.

Embarrassing that the A/C in the 10 year old GM van I drive for work could keep a side of beef frozen, but that my VW couldn't keep an ice cube intact for more than 2 minutes.

Sigh.

good thing it only gets over 20 degrees here for 3 weeks of the year. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Hey guys,

Wheres the cheapest place to get VMR wheels in Van? Or is it better to order directly from VMR?

Thanks!
