Volvo 850 aircon

Jul 28, 2004 4 Replies

Just got an 850 with 2 litre 20 valve engine. which i am more than happy with. The only thing that confuses me is that without the aircon on the engine runs fine. With the aircon switched on the engine feels like it's missing and holding back on acceleration.. Any ideas? the car is still under warranty so if it;s a problem, it's going back asap!


sorry meant to say, with the aircon off the engines fine, it's with the aircon on I have a problem.

You may well feel the engine is more sluggish with the a/c on, this is normal, though if it is excessive then you are probably short on gas.

The engine should not be mis-firing though.

Sounds normal to me.
