Mine is the 2.2 i-dtec and I've noticed when air con is switched on i can hear compressor kick in but then clicks back of after around 5-8 seconds then after around 10 seconds it will kick back in for 5-8 seconds and this will keep repeating itself. It does this whether it is hot or cold outside.
Also noticed when the hot gas ***ist heater is on on the cold mornings it does the same switching on and off but the timings are totally random, it can be on for 2 or 5 or even over 10 seconds and same in the off state. Which is a shame as this feature is meant to help heat me up quicker but looks like it's spending alot of the time being off.
So just wondering if anyone else had noticed this and is it normal, to me it doesn't sound normal for the compressor to be switching as often as this is surely going to wear something out.
Also noticed when it's switching on and off the fans at the radiator in engine bay also switch on and off.
