WTF does Max A/C do?

[Particle Man]

Even going from center vents to max, the sound changes and the air comes out faster

I would be taking it out of gear everytime rain hit the window.

never thought of that. The wipers were on the left side of the dash. Two speeds, on slow or on fast. And off.

Seems like you could have bought a 2 year old used Golf, which would have only depreciated 1-2K over that same amount of time, if you negotiated right.

Cuz I like telling people what to do

Shoulda kept the Golf anyway.....Mazda 3 seats have no lumbar support last I remember

That is only 14 months since the first month comes out of the down payment.


Two hundred bucks a month for a car you have to do nothing to until you get rid of it is pretty cheap. You do this over 5 years and you're paying 12k, but getting a new car every 1.5 years. You actually make out better unless you keep the vehicle for at least a few years after it's paid off, but who wants a car for 7 years.

Since these hold there value well, how much do you think I could have bought a 1-2 year old used one for? Then sold it for after 1.5 years? More than 2k?

Yes if you DON'T have a recirc button. If recirc is off...then ...um no. This is saying the center vents are ON.

Wrong again. Maybe after 30 years in your field you'll grasp the basics.

Wrong about what? You really have no backing to even respond.

You either recirculate the air OR you recirculate the air and force the air all through the center vents. Do you think this noise is coming from somewhere else? Like ur ass maybe?

When I use the recirc button and have it set to the center vents it still isn't the same sound or force as Max A/C. Again, I have both a recirc button and Max setting.

Wrong in your response to PM, whose post was an accurate description of how the AC works in all our cars.

A quick walk down to any car in my garage would disprove every post you, a self-proclaimed expert, have made in this thread. That's all the backing I need.

Well. most don't, though I'm guessing that there is 5-10% airflow going to the other vents even when in the center and then 100% to the center on Max AC. Put it on the center vents, then on Recirc and at max blower speed. Then, see if there is any air coming out the floor or defrost. Then do this on Max AC. Compare the results. They may be only putting air through select center vents as well. The mode selector doors have multiple airpath channels, so this is most likely what is going on. It is just diverting airflow in a different manner.

What car is this? I'll test it.
