Scary.
you're kidding , right ? How in the world could you tell if the thing is never on



Anyway, you have a high power TDI and the bigger the engine the less effect I would think.

Friend of mine has a Suzuki Alto 0.8/ 39hp and when it's on AC it barely moves along I rode with him once on the highway, AC on and at 100km/h it seemed to be dying under us...
