Thanks Staz,
Its in Nationwide Autocentre as we speak ..
Their Diagnostics test "may not" show the fault...
Then it will be back in next week to take the compressor apart to investigate .. in the old fasioned way... why does hands wrapped in rags and dipped in resin and broken glass come to...
Hi
Just got back from a carpark vcds....many thanks to Rich for running the diags..
No fault codes found ! now I wonder if its the fuse to the compressor ?? or worse still the compressor ! Anyway its insured with the AA so I have to pay nationwide auto centre to do diags on the aircon tomorrow...
Thanks Staz,
Ordered the real macoy vagcom last night... will post the results when the software and lead arrive. I went for the 350$ version , in the mean time contacted "spud" who may be local enough to run a scan for me .
When I drop the temp to Low it blows at full speed, but there is no cooling taking place.
I dont think his snap-on diags can get fault codes for the A/c in an Audi, I am thinking of getting the vagcom cable off ebay and reading the diags myself !
Will a £20 usb cable do the job?
I can confirm gas weight 750g + 50 g is listed under the bonnet.
Gas recovered was 545g + 27cc of Oil which was done on a Kool Kare Blizzard, diags were snap-on and did not do Aircon for Audi... any sugestions??
I called the garage , his diags can not fix or diagnose the problem ( I will ask tonight what the .. he said that he filled it to what the sticker under the bonnet says 750grams ?????.. At least the sun is blazzing now my a/c is broken ;o)
Sorry , I am not sure whay b6 / b7 units are ..There is a sticker under the bonnet, that gives max fill weight for gas, I will read it before I drive off when I collect the car after work . Thanks
My 2002 A3 1.9tdi quattro 130bhp NOT remapped to 197 .....yet ..lol
Anyway, I had the aircon re-gassed and it is still not blowing cold air, the econ light goes on and off as I press it, the aircon fan kicks in and out under the bonnet , I am having some diags done this afternoon. the garage...
