A/C Cooling Intermittently
Within the last week I've noticed that my 01 I30's AC isn't cooling like it should. Sometimes it blows warm air until I get above 30-40mph. Other times it cools right away. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by though. This weekend we did a lot of interstate driving and there were times where we would be going 70mph for about a minute before it would start cooling.
My first thought was perhaps the belt isn't tight enough on the compressor and therefore compressor isn't running like it should. Any thoughts?

Could have air in your lines, I would try to burp the system first. Then if that doesn't work you could try a flush and fill. I would replace the thermostat if you do a flush and fill as well.

Thanks, guys...I'll look into burping the system and a flush & fill. It's never been done on this car so maybe it's due. I'll do some searching, but can you tell me if that's an easy task for an average DIY? I tackle most small things on the car like oil changes, belts, sensors and breaks.

last year I took my I30 in for a recharge. it ended up it was fine. They didn't charge me anything. I would just bring it in. I think I brought it to a meineke or a midas. Not sure if you have those where your at?

Actually, Meineke is in your area. They also have a coupon for a free a/c check. I attached the link for the coupon.
