Clio slower when warm



  Arctic 182
Took the 182 for the first drive in this years sun today anyone else notice their clio/car significantly slower in the warm. Is this just because of air being less dense or perhaps that she has a problem?
Sorry to create a thread but it seems such a significant drop in power was interested to see if this was the case for all. (its my first highish powered car)
 
It shouldn't be warm enough to notice TBH but yeah, power will decrease as temps increase.

Did you have the AC on? I hear that saps around 50hp.
 
It always makes a difference, but nowhere near warm enough at the moment for it to be a tangible one. If it was 30 degrees of bone dry sunshine then yeah for sure, but on a sunny day in March? Nah.

Probably more likely as the car hasn't been used much recently, get out there and give it some beans!
