Hiya,

I did a similar distance (165 miles) the other day in my T5 to pick up a kit car, with a 4 wheel car trailer.

The didnt go up, although the Air Con kept cutting out (superheat switch?).

On a recent trip to the south of france (Brighton - South of France & Back in 24 hours!) I never had the air con cut out on me, although I turned it off when slowing down (traffic & tolls). Most of the journey was done at between 100 & 140 mph (the T5 loves it, but my wallet doesn't).

I am thinking of overriding the superheat switch, any comments?

Regards,
