As the topic says.

im losing power with the air con on and its really a nightmare getting up hills with passengers and with air con on.

what are u ppl experiencing? is it just the small engine that makes the difference?

Cheers

Yep your damn right it's the small engine that does it!!

Yup, even the 1.4 like mine is a pain in the ass. To less torque from that little engine.

i hear that the air con eats 7-8 bhp of your power when it's on full. so you might feel the difference more in a small engine

I dont feel any difference at all but then again I have got more torque than a VR6

My mates Ibiza 1.4 MPI has climate and that is a right pain in the ass, he has to turn it off to go up hills!
