[W126 Coupe] A/C Problem

[Axel Wulff]

Vedat,

 

As they say in the software industry; that is not a bug, it is a feature.

 

At full throttle, when the kick-down switch is engaged, the AC compressor will shut down to get 100% of the engine power to the wheels.

Hi Group,
 
My A/C functions perfectly OK as long as I drive soft and smooth. On the other hand, the moment I demand a considerable percentage of those 300 horses present, such as driving up a steep hill, or just the occasional need to feel some G's, the A/C seems to switch to heating mode and quits blowing through the front vents. Appearently the compressor also goes out in the process because the air diverted to the defroster vents seems to warm instantly.
 
I imagine this could possibly be a vacuum leak issue, but that's not much of a help since we're not living in an imaginary world...:p
 
Any thoughts?
