Funny because I had mine done twice at ATS too. I can't blame them, their machine only vacuum tests and obviously the leak wasn't big enough to be detected. With a vacuum test the pressure differentials are just too low compared to a nitrogen pressure testing system where they can apply much...
If there's anything I can help with let me know and hope you get it sorted. My leak only appeared with a proper nitrogen pressure testing set up. Don't think they used any of the UV dye. I took it to Halls Auto Electrical, there is a branch not too far from you in Bristol. Good luck.
As a final update for this -
I had the car regassed and after a couple of days the air blew warm and then the air conditioning pump would not even engage again (light did not stay on), I then went back to the garage and it was regassed again as their machine could not find a leak when pulling...
Unfortunately there aren’t too many vehicle air conditioning or even Audi specialists my way (Aberdeen). Without knowing what the issue is, I can’t even begin to make a decision on how to get it repaired so taking it to Audi seems the only choice
Thanks for letting me know, I have had mine regassed too and now the AC light comes on and stays on but still no cold air... Now I'm at a total loss as to whats going on. Time to take it to Audi I think.
I searched and found nothing on the 8V, which is why I was asking whether 8V or 8P were the same in the first post. Every other thread is about condensor failure which I don't have because there's still some pressure in the system. So cheers for the useless post pal.
Just wondering did this work for you? I changed out the G65 sensor but no joy, so I have a feeling it needs recharged, wouldn't be the first time I should've known better than to go to Kwik fit.
Hi zac,
I had almost given up on this forum to be honest. Seems like most people interested in how to ruin their car with mods than actually repair it...
I managed to get the AC working by unplugging the G65 sensor, it runs fine that way but not especially cold. I checked power going to the...
Hi everyone,
2015 1.4tfsi A3. I noticed this week that the air conditioning is not coming on when I press the AC switch and have now learned that I probably should have been running it all year round which is news to me but lesson learnt! When I press the air conditioning button, the light...
Hi 5ean,
I am having an issue with my air conditioning on a 2015 A3, I am Aberdeen city centre based and wondering if you'd be able to help me for a fee? I have already taken the car to quik fit and they confirmed the air con does not need recharged and think its something electrical related...
