VXOC Astra-J/GTC

So this morning sat in traffic engine upto temp car in neutral I put aircon on, traffic started moving and I had to fight to get it in 1st gear.

Turned aircon off slipped in 1st no problem.

Put aircon on again incase I was imaging it and again had to fight to get 1st gear.

Anybody else noticed this?

Can you hear if the aircon clutch is engaging

Never heard anything other than the aircon pumping more air out but it's always been like that since new.

Its hard to hear but if you open the bonnet you may hear it maybe nothing hopefully

Ok I'll have a play tomorrow my mechanic said to try it with a cold engine to see if it still does it

This is interesting, I have experienced issues getting into 1st sometimes but never made the connection with Air Con, I will try this out.
