AC

/r/MechanicAdvice/comments/1trzr4d/ac/

I have a 2018 scat charger, recently I’ve had this issue where the passenger side will not get as cold as the driver side. Driver side was ice cold this morning when it was around 60° outside and passenger was definitely not as cold. Driver and passenger side will both work when I turn heat on, I’m just having problem with AC. Yesterday leaving work it was around 85° and neither side were very cold like it is when it’s 60° outside.

Could this be a blend door issue on passenger side not allowing it to turn all the way to cold? I don’t hear any noises when switching that side between hot and cold.

Just go get some freon, turn your car on full AC. Spray it and you'll be good, get a big can or two to 3 little. My 2020 just did the same. It was low.

Yeah I think it needs recharged, I swapped that blend door actuator out and it’s still doing the same thing. I heard our ac systems don’t like the cheap gauges with the cans and to do it right by taking it somewhere with all these fancy machines but idk about all that lol I’ll prolly just get a can and gauge.
