Air con problem...
« on: August 30, 2015, 05:31:09 pm »
As subject says, my AC packed up.!
1month after I stop vw warranty!! Anyway, re gassed it worked, then stopped working after 2weeks. Said slow leak. They didn't charge for the investigation, but they said cost £800 to strip dash as only other place is behind dash, think heat exchanger? Anyway, dubious of dealer, I went to another vw specialist, they swapped pressure switch but no luck, confirmed slow leak and need to remove dash, and maybe change something? But lab just remove is £600!! All in all lot of dosh, anyone had similar experience?
So saving up for this extort ate job!! VW won't do anything like goodwill to cover some of cost, as car 8 yrs old...!

As opposed to VW, why don't you try a Aircon specialist?

I didnt go air con specialist, as thought needed someone who knows about vw, so they know where all the components of air con system is located?
If I'm wrong...can anyone recommend one in w london area? Thx

Best with air con specialist by far. Most machines cant detect small leaks so find somewhere that actually know what theyre doing.
