hey guys, i just installed A/C in my S4. When i have a/c off it gets to its usual temp reading (about a quarter of the temp gauge), when i use the a/c it gets to about half of it (about 55%). i want to know if this is normal or if the a/c is causing it to overheat.

 

where are you located?? and what are you using for cooling?

 

south tx, why?

 

every thing is stock for cooling, i mean it had factory a/c, i installed factory parts i would expect it to work fine?

 

The thing is, that the condensor is pretty much like a radiator... so its sitting infront of the rad. Thats why I wanted to know what mods if any you have done to your car.. Do you have a front mount, are you using the stock fan? Do you have the aux fan ? do the temps change from day-night ?

 

mine is an n/a, stock fan and i dont know if it has the aux fan, and temps are just about the same at night.

 

Try to get either an aux fan or another elect fan for the front. Can you take a pic of your install ?

 

eh, ill see about aux fan but i dont plan on having funds for it anymore, it was$500+ for the brand new Mazda compressor, ill take a pic tommorow. thanks.

 

WTF you bought a NEW mazda compressor!

Dude, that one part is like 1/4 the value of your car!

 

That's about right. Mine does the same thing, S4 NA, no aux fan, just the shaft driven fan.

I don't worry until around 2/3rds up the gauge. Halfway with the A/C on is just fine.
