AC / CC

[MCC-182]

When I put my AC on today in 182 it felt as tho the engine juddered or lost power for a split second, only noticed it today and never have in the past 3 years! Anybody else noticed this?
By the way it happend whilst I was driving at 50mph

Same mate i think its normal.....

Takes allot of power out of the engine does A/C.... Although i must say i notice it more with the 182 over any other A/C car iv had....

Yep you will always loose some power and have worse fuel economy using AC due to the engine powering the AC Compressor etc
