Why are you talking about delusions in a thread about air-con?

That will be because there are no rules against it and I thought you were either deluded or deluding yourself

If you have Climatronic, you can leave it on "Auto" and the air-con comes on and off on it's own, automatically.

If you have a manual system, you have to turn it on for it to work.

Where's the delusion?

The delusion is your rational of "Using the air conditioning regularly is well worth doing to keep it working efficiently. With manual air con, I'd use it every time you start the engine for 5-10 minutes while the car warms up."

 

There is no need to do this because the pump is always running at a low level even when you think it is switched off, now I have no problem with you doing whatever you want because of whatever beliefs you have, I speak out when you encourage others to do the same for delusional reasons.

I wish the a/c could be set to come on before getting into a hot car that's been sitting in the sun for hours on end,

Already exists on some cars. 

Drove one 20 years ago that had this.

Yeah I had a vague feeling there might have been before but not now but I wouldn't trust it to last too long on a modern made car without attention and one of the computers throwing a wobbly about it and the need of expensive repairs.  We'll be going back to the old days of cars being junk at 10 years old or less.

I drove for nearly 50 years without a/c and did not die. Conclusion it's another expensive gimmick which I do not need and I never use it.
