Hi
I have a 2007 S3 and the air con is not working, we have tried everything, what else am I missing here ?
New compressor ( wiring all checked and working )
New Pressure switch ( wiring checked and kicks the compressor in )
New climate control unit installed in the dash ( all works )
Fuses checked all good
Relays checked all good
Re gassed with 525g of refrigerant.
And its still not working !

Its not even trying to start or work, has anyone got any idea why or is there something else I can try ?
any help would be much apriciated
cheers
 
Okay from the start what was your issue and who diagnosed the problem?

From the list you've given you make no mention of checking hoses, belts, filter and all connections.

Aircon is a complicated beast so I leave mine to the experts. You need the right equipment to regas properly in my opinion.
 
All the work has been done at a friends garage, there are no leaks, belts, filters, etc all fine.
The initial problem was the compressor packed in, and it's never worked since.
It's not even trying to work
The regas has been done on a propa machine, full recovery, passed the vac test etc.
The garage don't know what to try next, so I am looking for other things for them to try
Cheers
 
Try looking at actual values through vcds. Pressure sensor and actual pressure in system. operate air con and if the pressure raises to about 10bar then your pump is kicking in, pump ok. If not check power down to pump when pressing a/c switch inside car if not then it code be control unit or coding issue.

Hope this helps.
