| Need help - AC dragging Engine performance hugely
The car is 2014 Mercedes E550 Sedan
I have been hunting the source of this issue for couple months already.
It started last year.
Whenever AC is on (Or hot air is on), engine performs poorly.
At least 25-30% power gone.
Car sounds loud and heavy.
IAT also up 10c
It still makes cold air.
At first, i thought its AC compressor or AC clutch issue.
So, went to a Shop, replaced AC compressor.
Shop also check on freon leak, no leak neither.
hoping to get some recommendations where to go
Any help is appreciated

Have you scanned for codes with a device capable of viewing manufacturer specific dtc's?

I don't know how the really new stuff works but my guess would be the idle air system isn't adjusting for the A/C being on? What happens at idle if you switch it on?

I will check on idle air system that you mentioned tomorrow. Quote:

It doesn't get change after AC turned on.
You mentioned Radiator!! IAT goes up around 10c !!! (ambient temp 30c, with AC on, IAT goes up to 53c)

Try having an EG Civic and turning the AC on lol
You have to slip the clutch, off the line, or it'll stall

Did you say hot air also does this somehow?
Makes me think it may have to do the electronics in climate control.
What happens when you try to change the temperature?

Have you looked for any possible service bulletins/ TSBs?
It might be a silly reprogram or something. It's possible with these late model cars....
In my Integra, i have to shut off the A/C when i'm going uphill lmao. The other time when 2nd Narrows was shut down and i detoured thru Downtown for 2 hours in the blazing heat w/ A/C on, i lost at least a quarter tank of fuel... normal for old cars

Heat from A/C condensor is effecting your IAT temps. higher IAT temps means less dense air; less dense air means less oxygen to fuel combustion.
That combined which energy loss from running a/c compressor you get quite of bit of energy loss. Seems normal to me.

Just tried today, changing temperature doesn't affect anything. Quote:

I might change different tune. See if anything changes. Quote:

I totally understand it. and agree to it.
But, I didn't feel this much of power lost or engine running rough 18 months ago.

If you have A/C off but you are blowing hot air, it shouldn't slow the car down. In fact, cabin heater works as a small radiator for the engine, which helps with engine cooling.

^depends on the brand, some manufactures will run the compressor when the defrost is on to dry out the air in the cabin

^this. Vehicles with automatic climate controls will use a/c without you actually turning it on.
For a quick test, manually put a/c in "off" mode with HVAC still running and see if your car still has loss of power then.

Car runs normal.
That's the reason I thought ac compressor or AC clutch is not running smoothly.
So, I replaced ac compressor with clutch.
But issue still there.
so....
- Just having HVAC running (AC off), car runs fine.
- AC (or Heater) on, at idle Engine load goes from 11% to 16%
- AC Compressor / Clutch also just got replaced. Which means, problem is not on the Compressor.
Problem is not on Compressor, or Compressor Clutch.
What else would cause this issue when AC on ??

can you check how much amperage increase when the AC comes online?
its one of the settings when u access the maintenance reset menu in your odometer
