My climate control stays on all the time generally around 22 degrees, during a recent warm spell I turned down to low. It was my wife who pointed out that the air was far from cold especially compared to her car. My question is before I take to garage is this likely to be just I need of a re gas or are there any signs and symptoms for a possible compressor fault? Car is 2007 07 60k. Cheers

First step is a fault code scan.  One of the pressure switches are common for going, I can't remember if it's the high or low side one that goes.

Best case scenarios are a knackered condenser, needs a regas or has a gas leak.  Worst case is a knackered pump, but usually you would know about that as they make a lot of noise, or shred belts etc.

Cheers Pudding, got it booked in next week fingers crossed for the re gas!

Might sound obvious but the Air con works when the ac light is OFF on the dial. I mistakenly thought mine wasnt working as when i pressed the dial and the light was on, i assumed that ment it was activated. When i pressed it again so the ac light was off, the cold air came through.. backwards i know.

Never seen that before. My A/C comes on when you press the A/C button and it illuminates.

Earlier golfs had the eCon button, short for economy. Turn it on (illuminated)and it switches the AC off. No light = AC on. Later models had the AC button.

Oh I was just confused as he said the AC light and not the econ button.
