Air con takes power away from engine - True or False ?

true, and you don`t need to lose any more power in a mk3

You can switch it off when you want to nail it... air con system has a clutch which disengages when you turn it off

Dont notice it much at all in the Golf. It does have quite an effect in my Pug.
