Air con

Post by harrywy »

Guys

I was wondering if anyone has had the same problems as me.

Evertime I start my 406 HDI the climate control with the ac comes on even though i turn it off before i cut the engine. the funny thing is it only does it when i leave the car over night.....

Hi.

Don't make the mistake of leaving the aircon turned off for the winter. The seals will dry out and you will loose the gas. Did some experiments with mine, and the MPG stayed the same with the AC on or off. The AC will also help to keep all the expensive and tempermental electrics dry which could be a big cost saving.
