94 850 Turbo A/C, 110,000 miles 850 1995

I live in Hong Kong and its hot and humid here.

Mine have the same problem and there are two causes.
1. Your R134a is running low in pressure i.e. leak in some where (likely to be the evaporator inside the dash; expensive job) You could try the A/C sealent on the market and recharge with R134a and oil.
2. Clean the condenser in front of the intercooler.

I had a new evaporator, seems to hold the pressure but when in heavy traffic and when the outside/engine compartment temp. gauge reach 59oC or HI, the A/C would still cut off, could caused by over heating.

Would love to fit an extra cooling fan in front of the condenser but there seems to be not enough space. I am also thinking about water spray from the wiper system.
