Apparently Google Translate doesn't recognize what language this was either. Let me give it my best...

Your AC isn't as cold as you think it should be? If the answer is 'yes' then I think you SHOULD bring it to the dealer. If the answer is 'no' then please clarify.

Ya the post is pretty rough but I think the AC isn't as cold as he/she feels it should be even on 8 w/ the rear AC closed shut in his/her 3-zone climate control. Wouldn't hurt to take it to the dealer.

Do you live in Nevada or Arizona or Spain?? Do you have a black car and sizzling black seats?

I live in Cleveland (and my car is light gray inside). On 90-degree days, I open the roof and the windows and run the A/C with the fan turned up to 12 (yours goes only to 8?). After the engine is warmed up (and the AC is blowing chilly air), I close the window and roof, pulling the sunroof fabric cover closed as well. Then I put the AC on Recirculate for a few minutes. Car cools down quickly.

I also use one of those insulated, accordion-fold windshield covers inside the front window, which keeps the car from heating up as much as it otherwise would.

So does using the recirculate button actually help cool the car faster/better? In previous cars I've owned this was the case (and the owner's manual stated such), but for some reason my B8 manual doesn't explicitly say so (and actually says don't leave recirculation on for too long). I understand that it should work better (if only cooling cooler cabin air vs. scorching ambient air over black asphalt).
