Hey guys. Back again with a problem (or two).
*As outside temperatures increases, I have felt that the car is sometimes sluggish or does not respond correctly (like a flatspot). Had an incident a few weeks back where I was driving through the drive-thru and after picking up the order and driving a way the car had no power. Like driving a turbo diesel and the turbo would cut off. I thought that standing in line upped the temperature so much that the intake was full of hot air. Today I used an OBD device and did some measurements. OUTSIDE temperature was 16°C and the car was at 42°C when standing (Motor was at full temp). Driving casually took me down to 36 and flooring it took me down to 30-32. Seems kind of high to be honest. I'm using the original airbox with K&N panel filter. Will clean the filter soon to see if it makes a difference. Any ideas would be appreciated!
*The second problems is the A/C. While measuring my intake temperature I also checked my fault codes. One code popped up saying "A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input"
I had a look at this website: https://www.autoblog.com/2016/08/08/p0533-obd-ii-trouble-code-a-c-refrigerant-pressure-sensor-circu/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAN3OImhi_xXF1q0tPUslqHovsVsVKvCgtZEVHDMdnWMf0LB1st6LpHHF7yyxCY4teOeCTcCFDs4x5GSL9c8OgcyLVLlNCtl2le7En-S_0cy4qwgN-GzoiGJKJmT3dEWskWUmpacwOe6jXeNe8SgsHRmFhf62YepcfWQ5CEeRJCsf
Planning to locate the problem using that, but asking if anybody has dealt with it and if it is a simple thing which is not listed in this article.
Cheers!
