Dug Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Just curious How do you run yours? Manual or fully auto system mine is set to full auto system and it work well but does use more fuel overall Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I run mine on auto, I believe, and I'm hoping an expert can jump in and confirm this, that you're supposed to run your aircon on auto so the it is used regularly as this help maintain its reliability. That's what I've been told. To be fair it's a pretty low effect on your fuel economy but more fuel efficient than having the windows open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 You do need to run the aircon regularly, hot in winter as well as cool in summer - helps keep seals lubricated, stops them drying out going hard and then leaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 However we ran both our systems regularly pretty much left them on auto yet both had the same seal go at the same age/mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 So how do you run them now? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcothio Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Full auto here, all the time on. I was also told to leave it on or use it regularly. I didn't do it with my previous car which resulted a broken Airco (and of course, it was summer...), learned my lesson. Haven't paid attention to mpg between full auto and manual, will have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 In both the STi and the RX you can feel it when you turn the aircon on - there is a slight drop in power, may not impact mpg but you just get there slightly slower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
