Starting M35 While A/c Is On

[Tonkachow]

I know you aren't really supposed to start your car while the A/C compressor is switched on, but has anyone else noticed if they do it first thing in the morning, the car doesn't like it at all.

I get oil pressure warning lights and whacked out engine idle which prompts me to switch the car off straight away.

Happen first time yesterday, and then again this morning. If I switch it off and start it again with the A/C turned

off it's fine. And if I try start it again with the A/C switched on it's fine.

Or is it just mine??

Just yours, I would clean the battery terminals first, sounds like an electrical/earthing issue.

Agreed.... or a dying battery

mines fine if i leave it on. the AC clutch isnt engaged till a few seconds after the engine starts. you can hear it click.

GOD.... I never turn my AC off...lol

The old adage about AC being turned on really only applies to older cars. Even the C34 stagea's dont engage the clutch on the air con straight away. My old series one used to turn the air con off breifly when I buried the right slipper even. (something I wish all cars with an automatic gearbox did - best idea ever IMO)

If I turn mine off when the Monitor / DVD Reciever is playing a track eg from USB it goes back to the start of the track?

Ok, I didn't know all of that, but I will check everything stated above.

It seems to wind over fine, batter isn't showing signs of low power.

But will check it anyways, cheers.

See how you go, a quick terminal clean up with some emery can fix a lot of electrical issues. Check the earth straps also.

^ Also putting vaseline on the clean battery terminals before connecting it up will stop any future corrosion
