Conditioned air is good for demisting your windscreen regardless of its temparature, so long as its not too cold. | |

a/c in cars do not heat they only cool by a condensor and a compress which is usually driven buy a belt. | |

I think theres some confusion here between aircon and climate control no? | |

Vauxhall actually had a stoke of greatness when it comes to this. | |

My ecotec 1.4 corsa heated up well quick, i always thought it was due to the engine almost filling up the engine bay so then heats up quicker. | |

modern range rovers have oil heaters that heat up VERY quickly as soon as you turn the key. | |

If your trying to warm your car up in the morning then turn the heat up and leave the AC off | |

I was under the impression that a/c had nothing to do with heat? If I remember I'll have a look in my Astra car manual (ie. from Vauxhall, the one that came with the car) as I'm sure that's what it said in there?! | |

WTF :lol: if the AC knob is pulled out it will over ride the fact that its on HOT and blow out cold air :lol: just turn knob to hot and leave AC off :lol: | |

Air con works for heating as well, because the air coming out of the heaters when the air con on is normally condensed and so called fresher I use it to de-mist the windows. | |

surely aircon is only used for cold air not hot??? | |

ok not too sure what you are asking here because the heating and A/C system on the Corsa is seperate. Heating system is controlled by engine coolant flowing through a heater matrix which is then blown through the vents via a fan, the A/C system is controlled by condensers and radiator which sits with the engine radiator. If its not blowing A/C cold air or hot air, i would suggest there is a problem with pipework somewhere... | |
