16 is fine- most only go down to 18. There were many issues with that panel in the AU models, they were very expensive to fix when they were new but today it should be relatively cheap to fix any problems.- .A/C may need a regas

^ To also add. If it requires a re gas it most likely has a leak in the system that needs to be fixed before addressing it by putting more gas in.

You tell me, do you have the car in front of you. My magic ball is getting fixed again, and please don't make up names.

If it needs re-gassing then where did the gas go!
We know and so does Johhny

Perhaps you could help the OP rather than making such negative comments

Shouldnt go below18c in the carotherwise it can freeze up the evaporator coil , could be faulityambientsensor . Thedemisteris only avent flap that opensby vacumm !redirecting thecooled air

Air Con Air is suppose to be around 10-12 Degrees out of the vents . 18 Degrees wouldn't be very cold at all.

The 1 im looking at only go's as low as 16 according to the display on the dash. This name calling thing you constantly bleat about , what is it. Now remember the tread isn't about you ok.

Can you actualyprove thevent flaps are openining,can you gethot airupthem !,Sounds like a mechanical problem . delve into the ductworkto get at theflaps , easier with seat out so can get right up under the dashShould be flexy ductsthatjoin thehearer /acbox .&actuatorsvacumm or mechanical .

Sounds like a broken flap or blend motor.
