I finally cranked up the A/C on my "new" to me 93 245 to see where it stands as the Texas heat kicks in. Having never had A/C on my 84 240 wagon I was hoping to get a few answers.

How much condensation is normal after driving the car for about 30 minutes? After I turned off the engine it had a pretty steady "stream" of condensation coming from a "port" above the transmission housing for about 3 minutes. There was rubber grommet looking thing where the water was coming out from, so I assume this is normal.

Also, how cold should the air coming out of the vents be? The car got cooled off fine, but just need something to gauge the temp. by. I will probably have the system charged anyway since I have no idea of when it was last done.

Thanks in advance,
Craig in Austin
