Hi,
Being in the UK I rarely use the AC in the car but with the hot weather we've being having recently, I have used it a few times and it doesn't appear to be cold.
The car Quick charges fine - the battery doesn't usually get hot enough for the AC to kick in and cool the battery but it did yesterday. Quick charged no problem. I stopped the charge at around 74% and the yellow exclamation light came on and stayed on. Car drove fine, regen working etc. I drove around for a while. I restarted and there was no error. When when the SOC had dropped to 60% after driving around I Quick charged to 80% the light came on after I stopped the charge but did not come on when driving. The AC kicked in at both quick charges (or appeared to) but when I try and run the AC it doesn't seem to get cooler. The RR changes but if I am sitting with the AC on canion reports that consumption is 0.4-0.6kw with the AC on or off.
I have checked the fuse in the compartment and the ac fuse in the front of the car but both good.
Does my coolant just need a topup or is there something else going on? Anyone recommend a good app I can use?
Thanks all,
