Hi All,
Total Newbie here...I have an 06 forester X with premium package, 96500 on it. About a month ago I started having an issue with the AC. In the morning it's fine and runs nice and cold on my 75 mile commute to work. I park it in the lot and it bakes in the 90 degree sun all day. About a month ago I was driving home and the ac all of a sudden started blowing warm for 5 or 10 minutes and then blew cold again. Over the next few days it got worse and worse and took longer to start blowing cold again.
Took it to the dealership, they found red dust by the ac clutch and replaced it (I have the 7 year 100K extended warranty). All fixed they told me. It Ran fine on the commute to work and I came out and started it up...interior temp was about 150 and I opened all the windows turned on the ac and it blew frosty cold...About 20 mins into the trip home it cut out again this time it took 20 mins to come back. It's tough to recreate for the dealer as it always happens at 5:00 when the dealership is closed and I'm commuting home from work.
Any Sugguestions? Hints? Diagnoses?
Thanks folks.
