Hi gents, after having my secont ac pump in a year fitted today can anyone please explain to me the principle, when ac button pressed is the clutch engaged all the time? Is it ok to drive with cc in automatic but ac button off? does this mean i still get automatic tepm control but with ac clutch disengaged?, Simmo please dont tell me to look HERE  Istill wont understand just plain english please, regards Bruce

Just had a read about the A/C it seems that when the a/c button is pressed off ( green light off ) ( a/c is on by default ) this disengages the magnetic clutch, although the drive belt is still spinning. The CC can run in auto with the a/c off. Unless the outside temp gets low then it goes into defrost mode automatically for about 5 minutes, which means that it will overide the air distribution setting and go to defrost the windscreen... hth .....
P.S. Your like me it tends to sink in my brain if someone explains it to me, but if i read it it don,t compute, and dissapears out my brain after 10 minutes.....

I reckon if the green light is off in the A/C switch,the compressor cannot pump because there is no power to it,however being automatic,if the big knob is on auto the compressor will be under automatic control,and will cut in and out accordingly,if the control knob is turned past auto it should not,until you press the A/C button.

Don't forget, IIRC, that if the control postion is set to 'Windscreen'. Then the system is 'on' whatever the green light says.  . I take it at the next Kent meet Bruce you will be holding a 'Car Park Workshop' !!. .

Its internet Geek talk
IIRC = If I remember correctly
hth = hope that helps
Its a bit like C-O-C-K-N-E-Y * rhyming slang and texting abbreviations...
takes longer to work out what it actually means than it does to just say it!
* (censorship gone mad)
