Hi,
Berlingo II, 2008, 1.6 HDI 55 kw.
I wander if anybody noticed engine power surge when A/C is turned on?
Normally, turning A/C on would steal power from the engine, spoiling acceleration etc., But on this car, I feel like it's better than usual when A/C is on.
So I figure it must be some signal from A/C control box that compensate power loss by increasing engine torque.
(This engine with 55 kw has plenty of reserve anyway).
So, it would be nice if this signal can be engaged without actual use of A/C, as a "poor mans" tuning method?
Does anybody has any knowledge about this?
Thanks
