A MECHANIC why you shouldn't open your car window during a heatwave.<\/p>\n

As the warm weather rolls on, with temperatures of 32C predicted for tomorrow, this handy advice can help you stay cool and save money.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Craig, from Walsall Wood Tyre and Service in Walsall, West Midlands, explained how to beat the heat without ruining your fuel economy.<\/p>\n

In a TikTok clip he said: "Air conditioning is always going to give you cooler air than opening a window, especially if the ambient temperature is higher than 5C or 6C."<\/p>\n

This means that using aircon is a far more efficient way to cool down, even if it does burn fuel to run the system.<\/p>\n

However, Craig went on to say that opening the extra drag created by opening the windows consumes roughly the same amount of fuel as running the AC.<\/p>\n

Renting an EV on holiday turned into a charging nightmare <\/h3>\n

This means it's actually more efficient to cool the air artificially as you can stay cooler for longer at about the same cost.<\/p>\n

He added: "I'd rather sit in comfort and be able to listen to my radio without all the noise going down the motorway with your window open".<\/p>\n

Thirdly, opening the window lets pollution, dust and pollen into the cabin, all of which can harm your health.<\/p>\n

It is true that the aircon does this too but the system will filter a lot of these fumes out while opening a window lets them flood into the car.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only that, but your aircon actually has a special feature to deal with this and make it even more efficient.<\/p>\n

You can use the recirculation button to make the system pass the same air around the car again and again.<\/p>\n

This means that it only has to cool the air once, and so uses less fuel, while also pulling in less air (and the pollution in it) in from outside.<\/p>\n

Social media commenters were quick to back Craig up.<\/p>\n

One wrote: "I've not turned my air con off in five years."<\/p>\n

Another added: "Never turn my climate control off. Can\u2019t think of a reason why I would."<\/p>\n

It comes after another mechanic revealed a major issue that could void your new car's warranty.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, experts at the RAC explain what it means when water drips out of your exhaust pipe and how to take action.<\/p>\n
