Air Con

why does my car feel very guttless when aircon is on.

you can actually feel the car splutter like made driving at a steady 30mph when it kicks in.

your compressor is sapping power from the mighty 1.9, is hot enough over there to need aircon now?

Fuckin' roasting today in Aberdeen - and yesterday too. 31 Celsius last night at 6:30, and it was 26 Celsius today at around the same time!

Clear blue skies, sunglasses, Coupe with working aircon... good times

When i turn my aircon on at tickover rpm rises by just about 200 revs
and makes no difference whatsoever to pulling power , i think at such
a low difference in rpm it doesn't affect the mpg too much either so on
all the time "Chill Winstaaan "

somethings not right. ive never known a car do this with air con on.

i dont wanna turn it up TBH, i like things standard as it was wen i rolled out production

i think its time for a nice HDi exec after my hols. or an SE if i can afford

That's cos they programmed it to....

and makes no difference whatsoever to pulling power

Doesn't make you cool then, puggy? Oh well, never mind.

Remember hiring a mk5 extort in Spain a few years back, managed to nurse it 3/4 of the way past a truck on an uphill section of motorway, when the a/c compressor cut back in,thus reversing said frod's stately progress relative to Pablo's vehiculo longo, which then steadily outpaced the sweating Dagenham upstart.....

I can confirm that I don't notice any effect from turning on the a/c and can't see any difference in consumption.

Jokes apart Gaz, if it has that much effect on your car somethig's probably not right. (An XUD has at least 2x the torque of yon escort).

i had the air con on today it never sapped any power, its making a noise but still making the inside cool and no detrimental effect on power.

well, i can confirm that the A/C does cut out some power ...i feel the car a lot more " heavier ", i need to speed a lot more so it wont die ..
