    Do I need vagcom/diags to restart aircon?

    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?
