172 Cup Air-Con...

[Alexiooo]

hey, now i am approaching my first full summer with my 172 Cup, i have noticed that my air-con isnt actually that cold... anyone else think it may be a problem or is it a usual thing for a 172 cup to have mediocre cooling inside the car?!

 

[Hi# im steve]

172 cups have aircon? :S

 

[mitch1503]

172 cups have aircon? :S

yes 33 iirc as a 700+ optional extra as my Iceberg cup has it


to the OP yea mine doesn't seem particularly cold i just set my c/c 2 the lowest setting

 

[Alexiooo]

Yeh... well, mine does?!

 

[Hi# im steve]

craaaaaaazy, i'll shut up then

 

[mitch1503]

craaaaaaazy, i'll shut up then

i didnt evren realise they done Iceberg until i seen mine and bought it lol

bit of a rareity

 

[Alexiooo]

ahh... just looked on RS Heritage page... apparently mine is 1 of 106... not bad... would be worth it if it was actually cold tho... the AC in my pug 206cc was better!! (

 

[DrR]

Have you been using it in the winter? Ment to use it for 10 mins every now and again in the winter, stops the seals drying up and leaking the gas.

 

[mitch1503]

may just need a system flush or something like that

arr yea 106 mondial and 33 iceberg had it

i always have mine on, even on low power to prevent that... where do i go/what do i do for a system flush? it sounds painful... lol

 

[mitch1503]

just have a search on google for a aircon repair/service place

or it may just need a recharge

You have it on all the time? What a waste of fuel!! it's either on or off, no inbetween.

(P.S you do know it's only on when then AC lights on?)

yeh, but i guess thats why i drink £60 fuel a week... :/

 

[DrR]

Also just though, they don't have CC do they like the 172s or 182s, Just AC?

Oh ok? They have the little display thing with the temp on?

Edit: Just checked they do, my mistake.

comes in handy on cold days.. just set it to a nice warm 22 n all sorted

glad Jonr had it put on when he originally purchased it

ouch. i use to average 34mpg until i replaced my lambda sensor, i'm currently averaging 40.1mpg over a mixture of B roads and dual carriageways. admit some of it is driving miss daisy, but not averse to a bit of pace either.

yeah exactly the best bit about it is im now only doing a 30mile round trip everyday rather than the 60odd and my fuel bill has gone up and theres only really 1 bit where i can get my foot down as the rest is crappy roads or speed cameras

 

[daddycool]

work have relocated recently and i've gone from a 3 mile round trip (which i didnt drive all the time! only when cold) to a 35 mile round trip. arses. don't have ac or cc in my cup, but i never used it when i did have it as you could feel it sapping the engine power when you switched it on!

yeah iv been thinking about getting the AC delete kit for it but hard decision as its a ICEBERG cup.. may just remove the fuse so even when its cold i carnt turn it on lol

What weirdo would put airconditioning in a cup? Just buy a standard 172?
