Problem with heater/AC
I just bought an FD which is currently in my uncles possesion 2300 miles from here so I can't say much other then what he's told me. Aparently the heater is only blowing lukewarm and he says the AC doesn't seem to be getting too cold but isn't sure because it's fairly cold there right now.
Before I bought it the car was pretty much just sitting for a couple years and I figure the AC probably just needs a recharge, but I really don't know.
I'm just wondering if you guys know what might be some typical culprits and what may need to be done to fix this.

Ask your uncle to check for heat at the foot vents, heat does not come out of the dash vent by design. As for the AC, if there is some cool air it's likely it's low on charge.
Good luck with you new car.

To be exact, heat only comes out of the foot vents and the defrost setting (or the setting that combines both). That's the only way to get considerably hot air. It's written in the Owner's Manual.

PS: You can take your car to practically any shop and they'll pressure test your A/C system for $50 or less, and let you know if there's a leak.
