joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Doesn't having your window open effectively sap more power (aerodynamically) than a a/c compressor does? Apparently not :) I saw a test of 2 identical cars go round a test track at the same speed, with the same fuel loads One had aircon turned on, the other had his window down. The aircon cooled car ran out of petrol about 30miles before the other one This was on Mythbusters on Discovery :wink: Still, I'd rather have aircon on a hot stuffy day! But days like these are rare in the UK :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

james_88 0 Posted January 18, 2006 My G60 (1991) has air con however i don't think it works anymore so the chap i bought the car from can't have used it very much! I'd like to get rid of the system to be honest, then i'd have room for an intercooler! And my a/c caused JMR all sorts of problems when he fitted a 68mm pulley and didn't have the correct size of belt (he didn't know because i never told him about the a/c so he had to find a belt that fitted on a saturday when everywhere was shut!) I don't think the a/c is worth it in a corrado, especially not up here when there's never any need for it other than the odd day in the middle of summer!

Trig 0 Posted January 18, 2006 This was on Mythbusters on Discovery :wink: Dont'cha just love Mythbusters :) Was thinking about aircon today when stuck in my mums stuffy landrover. Might look into it when i've got some more cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spykee 0 Posted July 1, 2006 guys ive got Aircon in my G60 if any of you need pictures etc to help you figure things out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted July 2, 2006 When the cooling fans kick in do any of you find a slight jolt similar to the aircon coming on - at either of 95 or 105C? (directed of course to te aircon-equipped crowd). I do but i dont know if this is normal. The diverter flap under the fresh air iintake also closes at cooling fan speed 1 & 2. Intersted in your comments.
