• Which is economical? AirCon or window open on mway 18 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  We know that the air conditioning unit in the car affects the fuel economy when in use. Have seen cars on the motorway with windows open travelling at 50+mph. I thought it would be more economical to use an air con frugally compared to having a window open which causes a drag which affects

  My heater/air-con comes on full blast every time the engine is on. Can't seem to turn it off. The circular switch doesn't seem to work. Both heater and air con are certainly working, the car is as warm as toast or cool as ice, but I can' t seem to get them to stop!! Any ideas?

  It was freezing cold the other night and the following morning the windscreen was misted up so badly that it took about 15 minutes for the demister to clear it. I thought that air-con had done away with this kind of thing. Any suggestions as to what might be the matter? I've had the car for two

  when the aircon is turned on. When the car is moving the air con definitely has some cooling effect, but I'm not sure it is as effective as it should be. The car has climate control fitted as the air con has very rarely been turned off in the last 2 and a half years I've owned it. Any ideas what
• Renault Clio Air Con 14 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  A friend of mine has a strange problem in his 18 month old Clio. When he switches the aircon to cold everything works well. Even in Summer, and cold air is produced instantly. When he switches to hot, the air takes ages to come out warm. He says the engine temperature will have moved from cold

• Scenic II Air Conditioning 12 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  This may sound like a silly question, but how do I know if my air con is working? I have the new shape Scenic with Climate Control. Today I put it down to min temp, which appears as 15 degrees and the AC indicator comes on. But it didn't feel as cold as I remember it was last summer. Outside
