Hello,
I congratulate you for this great site.
My air conditioning is running fine but sometimes I could notice it stops for few seconds and comes back on? And the second question is that it is increasing my engine temperature over 90 Celsius (outside what I am used to see in my dash board). Fans are both working?
And one last question, the air conditioning is significantly reducing the power/torque?
