Hmm, I can mess up simple things...sounds like that'll end well then...
I don't see how it'd smell when using the AC though, surely all cabin air would be sucked through it?(05-05-2015, 08:15 PM)cpikey316_ Wrote: Not just about cooling Tom, it dries the air as well.
Cars usually have CC, so it decides, but I honestly see no reason to turn it off. Uses next to no fuel in my experience.
It's not really the fuel economy that bothers me tbh, wastes more fuel having the window open which I do most of the time!! Just don't see the point leaving it on why it's not necessary, it's never damp time I go out so wouldn't even be useful for demisting (but then I have Quickclear front screen anyway lol).
Tbh the HVAC system on the Focus is awful. Genuinely don't understand why more people didn't spec the electronic climate control as the manual AC system is terrible! It's basically melting hot all the time until the last 8th of the blue on the dial, when it's freezing cold instead lol. Until you get a hot day then it's hot there as well lol, of course that's when you stick the AC on but the AC system isn't effective either, seems to be a common complaint on the Ford forums even after a regas. Probably my biggest dislike of the Focus tbh, should've held out for one with climate but they're so few and far.
