[Vwdiesel] Recycling trucks crash money a/c

[Terry Briggs]

My 86' na golf has a/c, and you can really tell when the a/c is on. I 
lose a good bit of power, so much that I turn the a/c off when I'm 
getting on the highway in order to get up to 65 as soon as I 
can.{usually in the same day ;-}  ] Of course I don't notice it while 
at speed, and it tends to smoke a bit more when I take off from a light 
with the a/c on too.
