air-con surging engine

[mondyst24]

hi all my air-con is driving me mad! when driving along and you have the air-con on when the commpressor kicks in its like you have pressed the go pedal and when you take your foot off the pedal and still in gear (say going down a hill) it will surge forward and let go everytime the commpressor starts and stops please help.

sounds like your air-con system needs to be recharged, when the pressure becomes low the compressor kicks on and off more often, get it recharged and maybe the issue will get better. its fairly common for the A/C on the contours/mondeos to act the way you describe it.

Could be the old leaking accumulator problem. In cooler weather (like sunny 70, but hot inside car) it will cycle, and I have found with a stick shift, you notice it more with any car.
