Default Correct temp for A/C

Seems to me over the past year it is taking longer for the air coming from the vents to cool. Dealer said everything is fine and the temp should be 52 degrees F.

Anyone know the correct Jaguar factory specification at the vent with recirculate on & off?

52 degrees sounds about right. What temperature is the air coming out of there?

Temp should be in the mid 40's minimum.

Is the temp the same out of all the vents? I have an issue where my driver side is warmer than my passenger side.. I think the blend flap on the driver side is not closing all the way in the AC position.

Doing a quick Google search seems to show a consensus that if the vent temperatures are somewhere in the low 50s at idle, you are in good shape.

Then again, it probably depends on the car. My Jaguar never had particularly cold A/C, but my Ford's is ice cold!

Hoping someone knew if Jaguar had a factory spec. Car is still at Jaguar, when I get it back, I'll check the temps but I do believe the outside vent temps were different from the middle ones.

I checked one of my other cars and the recirc temp was 44.1 and with recirc off it was 46.3 so Jaguar is looking into it...

That sounds more like it.
