In my opinion, auto climate control is one of the most underwhelming features in new cars. Yes, the idea of it is great. Pick a temp and let it do the rest. Unfortunately "the rest" might include a screaming vent fan as it furiously tries to reach your temp asap. Also, you don't have control over where the air enters the cabin. This is one automated feature I never use.
It’s funny when people think this in cool new tech. I had a either a 1979 or 1980 toyota celica supra. It did all this almost 40 years ago. ( i owned it around 1990)Pretty much exactly the same. You set the temp in auto mode and the fan would blow high until the car cooled, and it would ramp down lower and lower as it approached setpoint. Used a motorized dampener to mix the hot and cold air as needed. Pretty much worked exactly the same as my 2018 camry does. Virtually the only difference i’ve noticed, is my 2018 has a slow start so you don’t get a blast of hot air in the summer. it starts slow and ramps up fan speed as the refrigerant gets circulating. Same in winter. If i turn the heat on in auto, it actually will do nothing for a couple minutes until the engine warms some avoiding blowing icy air on your feet. Other than that, it’s the same as 40 years ago
Also if you want to defog your windshield you can turn on the AC and set the temperature high. The AC makes the air dry and the heater make it warm which is perfect to quickly defog the windshield, no need to *(gross)* wipe it out by hand.
For BMW (for example the one he used to demonstrate the ac system), at auto ac setting, you can set both the temperature and the fan speed. Cooper got the latter wrong.
Love the Channel. I wanted to find out what are your opinions on direct injection and the problem that come with it like oil accumulation on the valves and possible ways of slowing down the process.
you didnt touch on how much gas it uses.... my friend doesnt us the AC because it uses gas... yes hes 70 years old. can you say something about this.... YOUR FREEKEN GREAT.. KEEP IT UP!!!
Jonas Reno I guess that if you drive a under powered car at city speed it could be about 1 mpg less (0.1 dollars per 25 miles), at highway speed it will be so miner, maybe 1 mile less for every 3 gallons (0.03 dollars per 100 miles), I'm just guessing but one way or another is worthless to not use the ac on a hot day
john M but the belt is turned by the motor, that is why new cars have electric steering instead of hydraulic steering, electric steering requires less energy
What I really don't get is why some cars don't let you use all vents at the same time. Back when I had my Opel Astra H, you could choose to use all of them at once: windscreen, upper vents, lower vents. Now in both my Toyota Auris and my GT86 you can only combine 2 of 3. Upper and lower, windscreen and lower...
What i dont get is why on some modern cars the system will NOT allow you to run recirculating heat without the ac compressor running, you can only run straight heat without the AC compressor running if your using fresh air On a Toyota Corolla from the 90s you can run it anyway you want, as long as the fan work's
@@fargeeks because in winter if you use recirculation mode without ac the windows fog up quick. In my 99 Audi. If I have eco mode turned on(aka no ac compressor) and then turn on recirculation it automatically disables the eco mode.
you'll notice you're getting tired because of the rising CO2 levels (from you breathing, not the car). Some cars switch back to outside air after a while, some don't. You can't even tell by the windows fogging up because the AC is king the moisture out of the air.
Mother-in-law uses only one mode for spring, winter, and everything in between: aimed at the windshield and full blast. 100 degrees and 70% humidity outside? Windshield, full blast. 20 below and sunny? Windshield, full blast. Why? The f*k knows...
older people dont like to learn new things... im trying to teach a 70 year old dude what AC is and how to use it... all i hear from him is ....TURN IT OFF ITS USING GAS..
and on a lot of cars like toyota’s, you can simply depress he AC button, which is basically a switch to turn on and off the compressor no matter what mode your in
Why does japanese Cars like Toyota , Luxus and Nissan have a much better A/C than the expansive german Cars like bmw, Audi or Even Mercedes ? Thats why german Cars are Not liked in hot Countrys

Only Brian Cooley can make a video about HVAC actually interesting to watch.
Cooling it down with Cooley.
Alex De Mola dats the quickest way to cool ur car down, quicker then selecting recirc
akupehsluarketatAR haha for sure.
For fucks sake please give him a car to review
Al Denino I 2nd that.
Cooley makes climate control systems interesting.

If I remember correctly, putting certain cars in Eco mode makes the auto setting reduce the fan speed.
It does that to reach the set temperature faster
Simple topic. Well explained. Cooley > all

Based on vehicle.
Also if you want to defog your windshield you can turn on the AC and set the temperature high. The AC makes the air dry and the heater make it warm which is perfect to quickly defog the windshield, no need to *(gross)* wipe it out by hand.

Yep once it at Target temperature then the fan runs slower and slower to a lowest speed
I like this guy!!! They need to let him review whole cars again.
Thanks Brian that was very helpful

People up here don't use recirculation. They'll be in rush hour behind a diesel duallie rolling coal and will refuse to recirc. It's so damn annoying.

How does it use any gas. Isn't it connected by belt.
So how would that use any gas.

Under the sun I have to set my car to 65, during gloomy days 68, cold nights 72. Auto does not work that well in my car :(
WHERE ARE THE EPISODES??????
Does it hurt anything to leave recirculate on all the time?
you'll notice you're getting tired because of the rising CO2 levels (from you breathing, not the car). Some cars switch back to outside air after a while, some don't. You can't even tell by the windows fogging up because the AC is king the moisture out of the air.
NO it does not
yes to humans no to the car...
I live in socal weather 90+ heat every day, so recirculate is on always.
So everyone in the car just ate a whole can of beans, and now you are recirculate that air.
Don't ever leave us Cooley!

@@jonasreno3573 Technically, he is correct.
my AC doesn't work in my car :(
Not for nothing do they call him "Cooley".
Manual controls only, most control. I only drive manual. Manual steering, manual hvac, manual mirrors, manual transmission...
Uh huh

Gotta love those manual mirrors, so much more control.
Recirc can also cause drowsiness due to the buildup of Carbon Dioxide.

The problem with AUTO is the car will run the compressor all the time, even during winter
Bo Han A/C compressors are designed to shut off when the temps drop below freezing. Every car I've had with A/C does this.
and on a lot of cars like toyota’s, you can simply depress he AC button, which is basically a switch to turn on and off the compressor no matter what mode your in
You need AC in the winter to defog ur windows
i just turn it off and windows down
Same here, but doing that during Winter isn't a good idea.
