About switching on the AC

I was told that the switching on of your car's ac - the engine must be switched on first; then the ac. The source of this news was Ryanair in Trincity. This is supposed to help the compressor clutch or something.

Could anyone give some technical advice on the above Question

^plus in newer cars it is controlled by the ecu and only activates after the engine is started and and idling for a few seconds

butttt......sometimes is not a good idea to put load immediately on the engine right after a cold start....say in the morning.....so maybe u cud back off the a/c till the engine warm up......no science to this, jus my feelin on it

you know a good idea is to let the car warmup before you move it,plus it lets the oil circulate,then you can put the ac on Idea

^^mmm.....of course the rate won't be the same, but it will get there eventually not so? it will be very hard to say (quantitatively speaking) how high u can revv the engine from cold start while maintaining that compromise between gettin the circulation going and possibly increasing wear and tear on the engine during the cold start period

maybe the manufacturers should have written an SOP on this like there is for engines in industry Smile
