I tried running the ac with the car cold today and I could not feel or hear the fans running. Is it pretty obvious if there working?

Garage
When you turn your A/C on, run it all the way down to max cold. If the temp isn't below ambient, the A/C will not turn on. When it does and the fans kick in the front radiator opening will be a pair of Hoover vacuums, they draw a tremendous amount of air. I live on a dirt road and have to shut down the A/C before driving down it because the air being blown out by the fans dump in front of the front tires, and is so great that they'll cause a dust storm getting the car dirty.

Its this normal?

Hi everybody,

I am a new 1999 boxster owner and I was wondering how normal is this temp reading. I have read some of the posts but I am still unsure about whether that gauge reading is normal or I should look into it. Seems a bit high but do not know for certain. Please advice...
