The tech at my dealer said it is on the high side of normal, but absent any other symptoms like knocking, overheating, bouncing pressure guage, etc, it isn't anything to worry about.

Probably at 2.25 bars because you had the AC on with those temps, idles a little higher than when off.
Mine is a little above 2 bars too when the AC is on.

AC hasn't been off since I got it. It's been hot.
