ok apologies if this being has been covered, ive looked through various aircon issues and read the aircon/climate write up but here goes....
mine is a 02 tdi , the econ button illuminates when pressed and goes out when pressed again, so assuming all well there, ive had it vag com but no faults, ive had it regassed (45 quid) but still not cold.. i took it back to the aircon place (an independant) i watched him do the regas by the way, hesaid audi units are pretty good aircon units, and said there were no leaks, the regassing bit was successful(he reckoned he could feel the refridgerant through the vents??? however i know nothing about this so took his word for it. he said hes done his bit but cant check for anything else.....so what to check for now please?? opening the bonnet and looking down at the fans ive noticed there are 2 the one on the passenger side shall we say is on all the time when you start the engine, the leftone ive never seen on..is this connected to the aircon unit?? it does turn freely by hand, i have no visual leaks so am at a loss what to look for next and dont want to throw money away unnesscessarily...the dip in engine revs or slight engine note is minimal but i read on here that isnt a conclusive test anyway...there may be a very slight and i mean alsmost unnoticable change in air temp when i press the econ on and off its so slight i wonder if there is any change at all so any pointers please, the weathers warming up a bit now so aircon would be nice
