My Mrs has got the new shape Mk 7 Fez, anyone else got one?

I have got to book it in for a repair soon, the Warning buzzer when the lights are left on has stopped working.

Here is my question... When the car is started and you turn on the Blowers, the AC Always comes on too and is sooo annoying, is this normal with the new Fez?

Indeed it does, but this is a 1.25 and the AC comes on as soon as the blowers are turned on taking all of the power out of the engine.

i will know in a couple of weeks...

but that sounds right... the facelift focus did that, when it sensed the temp was below 0 it turned the heated windows on too!

the AC will always come on when the air is directed at the windscreen

Cheers Luke.

It is annoying as i have said.
If you don't remember to look and turn it off once de-iced, it stays on and Engine power is crap and Fuel consumption drops to the lower parts of the tank!

My brothers 07 Suburu WRX always has the A/C come on when you start it up. It's annoying you have to turn it off after you turn your key unless it's in the manual somewhere to turn it off?

Cheers Dan.

Good idea Ford, but would prefer to do it Manually if needed.
