Hi guy
I recently got RCZ 2011 200thp
The AC compressor cuts off with the full throttle
Is this normal?
Any solution to make the compressor always work?

Surprisingly a lot of cars do that it could be the ECU controlling the Air Con System after recognising the demand for more power from the Throttle to possibly stop the Air con motor from being damaged to the sensors maybe the belt is slipping or even the gas pressure needs checking out

If the Air Con works at lower speeds then you may find its not a fault

In low speed its very cold but with the full throttle the compressor cuts completely and out temprature reach up to 50°c so within 1 min the car interior becomes very hot🤣🤣

Maybe an issue with pressure in the system?
Too high maybe and cutting a switch?
I think compressors run from engine speed, so I assume the higher the engine speed the higher the output from the AC compressor.

Though I could be wrong. Unlikely but there's a slim possibility 😆

Yes I hunk you find that it’s programmed into most manufacturer, Coz compressor takes about 5-10 horse power to run. So when you put foot flat down you get all your horses not minus any horses due to compressor taking any so when you ask for full throttle that’s what ya get ;)
I know Fords Saab’s Jaguar’s all do it. For same reason.
