Just had a Google and indeed it is a thing, i.e. working when hot, not working when bloody hot.

You learn something new every day.

I found something called "Gulf state aircon" where you wouldnt try selling a car with weak A/C in say, Saudi, Iraq, Egypt or come to that, Texas or Mexico

all my VAG cars were good, drove back from Spain once in a new Superb, it was 35 degrees at night but the A/C was fine
