it is normal... coz the aircond compressor gets its power via pulley from ur engine... thus, extracting power from ur engine to run it....

but if u say the problem deteriorates over time, i not too sure about this... i'm facing similar problem... there is a huge difference when aircond is on and off... its like 30% power gone...

Check the compressor. Either the bearings are worn or the belt tension is too tight...
If you start feeling the same even when the A/C is off, the the clutch assembly for the A/C might have gone kaput!

Hi All,
Just wondering, if Tufoil is "the worlds slipperiest" lubricant, then is it possible for me to use it outside of cars, like on my sliding doors and windows?

Or does Tufoil require an oil to become slippery?

If my Tufoil leaks onto the road from my engine, will other cars skid on it? :p

Thanks
Drake
