This summer heat is no joke and my car AC is starting to act strange. It blows ice cold when I'm cruising on the highway, but the moment I hit stop and go traffic or sit at a long signal, it starts pushing out warm air. As soon as I accelerate, it slowly gets cold again. I was worried it might be the compressor failing, which I know is expensive. I found a really clear explanation of why this happens specifically in our climate at travelblogdubai.com/car-ac-blows-hot-air-abu-dhabi. It breaks down all the common causes, from a dirty condenser to a weak cooling fan, and even covers simple things like a clogged cabin filter. Before I book it into a workshop, has anyone else had this exact issue and found a simple fix? I'm hoping it's just dust blocking something.
