Few issues that I want to resolve
When hot temp gauge stays just below centre but under load it goes up then drops back to below centre……..any ideas??
Also just regassed AC but not blowing cold………could it be compressor??
Any help appreciated
Could be the magnetic coupling check if the compressor is turning if you engage the ac

And if the temp meter is below the middle its way of...because its a dampening meter which only moves if its outside its range of 70 ----105 celcius, check the thermostat.....or the temp is dropping due to low speed driving and max heater use.... with an ok thermostat...on the highway the temp should be above 85 celcius no matter how the heater is used because the heat flow from the engine is way higher
