Sorry, did not spot the question.

Have always ran the AC on recirc to get any semblance of cooling. Runs about 5C hotter on fresh. I also should have said this was measured on the right side inner fixed vent because there is often a measurable difference between sides.

Any idea why the left side vents can run cooler than the right (up to 4 degrees). I've seen a TSB fix on this for heater imbalance which involved covering up a portion of the heater core.

I now have a Puma loan vehicle while mine is being fixed. The difference in the AC is obvious, especially considering the loaner is black.

I measured it for reference under same conditions. 32C ambient, the output temp cycles consistently between 5C & 8C on recirc, 8C & 11C on fresh. Not sure whether these are normal or not but the car is certainly much cooler than mine was. Still not cool by asian standards but acceptable.
