Had a weird moment at the weekend. Sun was out and complaints of people being hot.

So slapped on the Air Con, went for Low temp and Full speed - lasted a few seconds and then just cut itself out and wouldn't start again.

So, windows and Pano were opened and air con turned off. One stop-stop start later I tried the air con again and it was fine.

I've not replicated it since - anyone else experienced anything similar? We were city driving - so I wonder if the power surge just caused the BUS to cut air con?

Probably shock/trauma at being asked to work in the UK....

Not had it before myself - my air con / climate automatically sets the fan speed based on the temp. So if I put on max low temp it boosts the fan then cuts it down as it cools.

Sound like 'brain fart' sums it up.....

There's probably no measurable benefit to fuel consumption available from turning the air con off when it's not in use as the Superb uses a variable displacement compressor as far as I know, so it effectively turns itself off when it's not needed. I was wondering why I didn't see a difference in fuel consumption when I turned the aircon off on days when it wasn't hot enough to need it until I discovered this.
