s3 aircon/climate control help??

[robbyS3]

Right, bought my car a few mths ago, anyhow aircon never really blew that cold-i thought it ad need regassing, so had my aircon regassed the other day, its still bout as cold as an african summers day, dont know what it could be, even on low it just doesnt blow cold (not like aircon should) so any ideas/advice greatly appreciated.

Also regassing machine showed no leaks/good vacum etc.

Thanks

Dont know if this will help but I had a similar problem. The pump was found to be ok but a small valve block attached to the bulkhead was found to be faulty.. It was replaced and all is fine. For pumps, there is a few on ebay and also new stuff too.

The valve cost £60 plus fitting. A new compressor pump is £300 ish, then the magnetic clutch on the end of this is a similar price or so I am told. Good luck..
