PoorSucker Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The compressor is run by a belt from the engine. Check the belt. It can also be wrong compressor they have put in your car if it's after-market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Older cars have less power generally so add to that the power consumed by the A/C and... In Indonesia 1.5 or 1.6l Kijangs are notoriously asthmatic. To get a bit of extra ooph for overtaking it is common to temporarily turn off the A/C. Some guys fitted switches like those used in the old days for Overdrive to turn off the A/C when passing or going up long hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it has been proven that if both the engine and air are operating properly then the power decrease will be minimal power reduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 How olds the car ? Aircon compressors used to be multi piston which really did use a lot of engine power, as the engine via a belt drove these multi pistons, different now, thats how small cc cars can have aircon. If the system is over gas pressure it will take more engine power to run it. Get it pressure tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it has been proven that if both the engine and air are operating properly then the power decrease will be minimal power reduction I guess it depends on the car. A/C uses about 4hp so if it is like an asthmatic Kijang that is about 5% of the engines output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman77 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Around 12 Year the dealer told also the cooling water from the engine running low within 3 weeks, but the dealer told he check everything..

VocalNeal Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Just curious are you using E10 or even E20. They have less energy per volume so give a little less HP which all adds up. Edited February 8, 2013 by VocalNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I don't understand Asian logic! There is an on a/c function switch in every car I have driven, why not just turn that off instead of installing another switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman77 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Its benzin 91 for 36,5 bath one liter in the city and 38,5 here in the Isaan country! Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songhua Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The belt-run a/c compressor will use up to 10% of an older small car's power so the difference can be very noticeable. It's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFREDO Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Its benzin 91 for 36,5 bath one liter in the city and 38,5 here in the Isaan country! Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Drive your car with RED colored signs promoted 91 REAL Gasoline, costs about 44 - 46.- ? Baht a Liter, that is the right Gasoline for your old car! But that 91 Gasoline RED without mixing of Ethanol is getting rare, but try! Even the 95 Gasoline with Ethanol is better that the 91 Gasoline with Ethanol, look to find 91 RED! No Ethanol in that kind! Same in the good old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
