VW Touareg Aircon

Hi,
Is it normal for the aircon of Touareg V6 (2019) to switch itself on when you suddenly accelerate hard? Once it has switched itself on, does it not switch off and some point? I once drove for 180km and it never switched off until I manually switched it off.

Regards

Don't think so, if anything I'd have thought it would have switched off. I think once the aircon if on, it has to be manually switched off again. Has it done it again? Anything else odd happen?

I can't think of any car I have owned where the aircon switched on or off when I accelerated hard

Apparently it is (was a thing) when accelerating close to WOT that aircon would be disengaged to help deliver max power....

WTF

It's an SUV, not an SR-71 evading a Russian surface to air missile.

You never know when every bit of power is needed...

" I have taken it to 2 different workshops with no resolution. Nobody wants to state in writing that its normal to switch itself on under the already described condition"

Nothing odd except the automatic switch on. The problem with this is sometimes you do not realise it until its cool in the car and it is bad for consumption especially when doing town driving in Joburg.

Weird indeed! Does your car have one of those fancy tracking units that monitors acceleration and braking etc?
