A/C cycling question V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be hfr on  Thu Aug 15 09:40 CST 2002 [RELATED]


When the a/c is on in my V70t5m, the car almost feels like it misses everytime the a/c compressor cycles. It is most noticeable when driving at a steady speed, but I can feel it during accelerations too. It feels like a slight miss and is probably imperceptible to everyone else in the car except me. The dealer said this is normal and is caused by the a/c compressor putting load on the engine when it cycles back on. I guess I can buy this, but it seems to happen too often to be normal though the a/c works fine. I would say that it probably occurs every 20-30 seconds. My wife's s70na doesn't seem to do this (or at least not as noticeably). Has anyone else noticed this and is it normal? If not, anyone know what causes it? How often should the a/c compressor click on and off?
Thanks!
