With the air conditioning running it's true that the radiator receives increased airflow but it will often be at a higher temperature than ambient due to the heat loss from the condenser. Engines with the standard 88˚ plastic thermostat assembly will run at a minimum of the low nineties even with the air conditioning working.

Let us know if there's any improvement in the coolant loss Julian which was the problem you presented.

Cheers,

Simon
