It is normal for cars of the Latio's capacity (1500cc) to feel a loss of power, particularly when accelerating when the air con compressor kicks in.

But if you were to drive a larger capacity car like the 2000cc Nissan Teana, you woudl not feel such an effect as the engine has sufficient power.

I feel the same thing too.. but i'm not sure what you mean by extreme lah.. I suspect the bearing in the a/c compressors are rusting.. that's why when the electromech clutch cuts in u feel the load on the engine.

Btw, i asked TCM if we can grease the bearings but they claim it's sealed...
