Can I turn on AC while driving?
TOM: We’ve heard this myth before, about not turning on the air conditioner at highway speeds. The purveyors of this myth explain that, with the car going that fast, the belt is turning at high speed. And if you then switch on the AC, it will be “jolted” into action at a very high speed, and this will harm it.
How long can I keep my car AC on while my engine is running but car is parked?
But setting my environmental preferences aside, you can let any car idle with the AC on for a long time without doing any harm. As long as the cooling system is working properly, you should be able to sit in any modern car you buy and let it idle indefinitely. Or at least until you run out of gas.
Is AC bad for a car?
There have been multiple debates on which method of vehicle cooling is more fuel efficient: air conditioning or driving with the windows down. There’s no doubt both cause more fuel to be burned. The question is, which burns more. Open windows increase drag while driving, and running the A/C burns fuel to run.
Is it bad to accelerate with AC on?
Starting with the age-old question: YES, running your air conditioning will slow down your Volkswagen vehicle’s acceleration. Also, your ride slows down because your AC causes your RPM to drop, which hurts your acceleration (you want higher revs when you attempt to speed up).
When does air conditioning only work when driving forward?
Air Conditioning only works when driving forward?!? my air conditioning only works when I’m driving forward, and does not work at all any more when I’m sitting still at an idle. this is a new problem. the A/C has worked like a champ for the past year (since I started using this vehicle).
What to do when your car won’t start after driving?

What to do when your a / C doesn’t work?
Warm the engine up, turn on the a/c until it malfunctions, and then spray a garden hose on the condenser with everything running. If A/C operation returns to normal, you’re not dumping enough heat off of the condenser. Inspect the condenser fan motor.
