I felt that my g8 (2009) was always on the warm side as far as cooling. Finally asked the dealer to check it. Was low on freon. I'm afraid that there is a leak. Are there common known causes?
What are common AC issues with the G8's?

Been a little over 2 years and on hot days, it takes a few minutes to cool but after that, its ice cold.

We are experiencing temps of 104. takes a few minutes but AC gets pretty cold. Check your cabin air filter. Just changed mine, but once a year is too long. More like evey 6 months.

I threw my ac belt three times this week :/. While putting it back on I realized that the tensioner had a chunk missing... Gonna cost mr about 170 for a new one and a belt...

I bought my G8 with 47k miles. Drove it 3k and the AC compressor went out at 50. I was pretty upset, never saw it coming. No thrown belts or anything

Will this new tensioner get in the way of the blower (magnacharger)?

It's not a new tensioner.
It's an entire new A/C bracket which has not only a new A/C tensioner on it but a new idler pulley also.
You never had an idler pulley in there before.

This blue bracket (A/C mounting bracket) and your old tensioner goes.
And gets replaced with this (New A/C belt throwing fix).
Go have a look if there are any Magnacharger bits anywhere near your existing A/C bracket.
