Hi
I am new to the Bongo and wanted to ask before my user manual arrives an air con question. Does the air con system also work to deliver hot air from a cold engine (before the engine warms up)? Mine seems to blow hot only when the engine is hot.

Re: Air con and heating
The heat for the hot air comes from the engine coolant, there are no electrical heaters involved the power required would be rather excessive to come from a 12 volt system!!

Re: Air con and heating
In my experience theres not an engine driven car that blows hot air till the engine has warmed up, as for AC turn it off if you don't need the compartment cooled as it uses more fuel, I'll stick mine on once a month to keep it working or when its baking hot in the van other than that its not used much where I am as the temps this year barely hit double figures.
