PeterDGM Fiesta Mad Registered: 19/03/05 Posts: 293 Loc: Pau,Girona Spain.	Anyone else notice that the car runs a little erratically when the A/C is on.I guess it,s when the compressor cuts in ,but you would of thought that with a 2.0 litre engine this shouldn,t be a problem. I think that when we start to go for our first services several subtle touches to the ECU will be made by Ford. _________________________ Aligator wrestler

Scotty Porsche 997 Turbo & ST150 Registered: 27/02/04 Posts: 18100 Loc: Nuneaton, Warwickshire	Aircon takes alot more fuel and you may notice it... It really bogs my 1.8 focus down when i have it on... when i stop i turn it off until im moving again or i feel asif i dont have any power. Nothing to worry about but remember it will cost about £7 a full take of fuel if you keep it on!!! _________________________

spoon1 Fiesta Fan Registered: 08/04/05 Posts: 172 Loc: Bexleyheath, Kent	I always seem to feel guilty when I put the air con on. Maybe cos of the extra juice it might burn. I'd rather just open the windows, although I appreciate that this creates more drag which increases the fuel consumption. Can't win. _________________________ www.paynebyname.com

Freestyle Fiesta Mad Registered: 11/02/05 Posts: 327 Loc: Nottingham, UK	My last tank full of fuel I averaged just over 30mpg and that was with the air con on the whole time and most of it on the motorway at 80-90mph. _________________________ ST Arrived (03/03/2005) - Love it!!
