Hi Guys and Girls,

Not been on in awhile, please excuse the absence....

Whilst I have been away, I picked up an '09 plated 5 Door Fiesta Mk7 1.4TDCi Zetec in Panther Black with Bluetooth/USB... and a very nice car it is however, (and this may seem like a stupid question)

When I turn my fan on (either hot or cold) it seems my air conditioning comes on automatically... I spoke to a couple of friends who reckon this is normal, just wanted to check before I seem like a complete idiot by phoning my dealer....

any/all help appriciated

    Turn the blowers to point to face or feet and this will prevfent the AC coming on automatically :)

    If you move the fan control one click anti clockwise, you will find it will not turn the A/C on, but still blow air onto the front windows :)
