Just about nothing else matters as long as the aircon is good!


The VW aircon however thinks it can take a vacation when the ambient temperature goes above 35 deg C, when do they think I want it most?

Until I had it, I viewed air-con as a luxury, but now for me it's essential. Not just for cooling the car on hot days, but more importantly, as it dries the air in the car, it's excellent for de-misting the windows too. The other advantage (tied in with the window de-misting) is that as the condenser (which gets warm in operation) is in-front of the coolant radiator, using it on a cold & frosty morning not only helps demist ALL of the windows (not just the windscreen), but also helps the engine warm up too. A win-win situation for me.
