When Air con is started, Engine starts to overheat?

It does get warm when running at 20.c
But rapidily get s too hot, when Air-Con is started.
Already had Thermostat changed, so thats out of the equasion...
May possibly be a dodgy heater pipe.

Also the temp dramatically drops fast, when i increase the heaters internal temp to HIGH.
I know it would drop anyway, but it really does drop faster than normal.
Would this indicate a problem, with the Bearings on the Air-con pump?
I clutching at straws but am thinking it could possibly be there???

Any ideas you lot?? Cheers Andy

Hello mate and welcome

Worth checking that the fan comes on (the one in front of the radiator, NOT the big one behind it), when you turn AC on - should be on all the time that AC is on.

Are you losing and coolant?
