Listees,

I ask you this, because I know a lot of you own Passats, and even more
of you have vehicles with AC systems. So here goes:

My brother recently bought a 1996 Passat 2,0 Wagon, with ac. Ac is still
a rare option here in Norway, we don't have too many warm summer days.
The problem he has is that the ac doesn't get any colder than 10-15 C
(50-60 F?) with the temp lever at coldest, and from what I have read on
the list, I guess it should be a bit colder. Are we right? If it should
be colder, any tips on what he should do to the system? Refill it? We
don't have any experience with it, so we don't know what it should be
like. We dont know what it is filled with, but it is most likely what
the factory put in back in '96.

Sorry for any waist of bandwidth, but you are the best group of people I
can ask at this time.
