decent power loss with ac ON, is this normal?

[admir87]

hello everyone,

since ive owned the car, when i have the ac ON it seems to loose a decent amount of power ( it wont even spin the tyres turning right lol )

not quite sure if this is normal but wanting to get everyone elses input on this matter

i have heard ac does affect power, but always thought it was minimal

you loose power from it being a really hot day aswell so youll have a combo of aircon and hot air stealing your wheelspins.... does seem a bit much tho.

lol, yes no difference...

i was just stating it, as usually its easiest to get it to spin, turning right lol

Some times the air compressor wheel gets a little sticky depends on the age of the unit it slows the belt which slows the crank i had problems with my A/C not long ago when i turned thee A/C on and pulled up to traffic light the motor nearly stalled i replaced the condencer and the A/C compressor and all seems to be alright now,

Drive a lancer then you will know power loss with AC on.

Drive a lancer then you will know power loss with AC on.

Try a Toyota KE70 with a 1.3i with the aircon on.
