Question: A/C will blow warm air after a while of cold air
Question
I recently purchased an 2004 Subaru Forester XS, when I run the A/C on Auto after a short time warm air blows out of the vents. I have turned off the Auto and manually ran the A/C and it still does the same thing. I will shut off the A/C wait a bit turn it back on and it's cool again but only for short time. It's been upper 90's with heat index in 105 to 110 and I need my A/C to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

MasterI'd bet that your AC simply needs to be recharged. A visit to a good shop with a competent AC-certified tech is the way go. Don't go to a Quick Lube.

RookieYou could do it yourself if you know what your doing. If this is something that you haven't done I wouldn't suggest doing it. I would have someone that knows what they are doing charge your A/C.

They indicated AC service does not help, freon is not the issue. I will probably get this part checked out after the first of the year. Ifyou hear anything or get it checked out before I do, please let me know. I will also post something I find out after the first of the year. Good luck to everyone!!!
