[Vwdiesel] A/C compressors

[mikitka]

I had the A/C on my 91 fixed. Well when I bought the car it didn't blow cold
air. I went a year without it and it was one hot year. This year I didn't
want to deal with the heat so I took it to a local shop, I didn't have time
to work on it myself, so they switched it over to the new R134. They said
that all they did was change it over. Everything works fine and it blows
cold air. Nice to have on my 30 minute ride home. I do notice the compressor
kicking in, slight notice and some power loss if trying to pass and this is
on a TD jetta. I have the idle issue where it drops the idle down to the
point that the car shakes like crazy when I turn the AC on. I bumped the
idle up as high as I could without it racing with the AC off. I now overcome
that shaking by just barely pulling out the cold start cable. It pulls the
idle up higher and takes care of it all.
