Question lang po...

Kaya ba ng VW Beetle engine yung A/C?

Di ba nag-o-overheat?

Noticeable ba yung loss of power ng engine since mabigat din yung compressor ng A/C?

1. kaya naman. and because the engine is behind, the cabin coolness is fully realized.
2. no overheat, during the years that we had ours.
3. any aircon will rob the engine of some power. "but it's tolerable" in the beetle. a real problem, would be the battery. the standard alternator (35A yung sakin!) may have to be upgraded to as high as you can get (54A... 70A), else airconed beetle will have to be push-started a week after the aircon is installed. we initially did some calculations, and determined that the 35A was ok. apparently, we were mistaken.
