I took my A3 1.8 to an independent AC specialist on the weekend to have it recharged. He tested the system and re charged it, that was the good news (no major issues).
Unfortunately, even though his diagnostics machine says everything is ok, the air doesn't come out cold!! He reckons it's because the fans (in front of the rad under the bonnet) don't kick in when you turn the ac on (apparently they should run non stop when the ac is on).
Anyone had a similar problem? If so do you know what was stopping the fans coming on?
Any replies appreciated.
Just as an aside, I noticed the paint bubbling by the roof gutters (see other threads on here). Called my local dealer expecting a debate but he just said "we've seen this before, bring it in and we should be able to get it resolved" going in next week.....
