when the air/con is on the Engine looses, upto 3 Bhp. :shock:
and up to 4mpg loss in Mpg,
On the 406 they take about 1hp to run and the loss in economy is minimal, something like 0.3mpg when I measured on my tubby

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
