    Air-Con hissing and not cooling much when ON

    Hi guys, I recently noticed that my A/C started making a hissing noise almost immediately after turning it on, the hissing also stops right after turning it off. When ON, the air coming out of the vents is also just slightly colder than ambient air outside the car, so it works, but just...

    Ac not working

    Hello, I took my a3 to a shop and they flushed and refilled the system and did not get any results. They told me that it needs a new compressor and relay. I cannot pay for the job because I am leaving for vacation in 2 weeks and that would obliterate what I saved. They want like $2400, to make...

    Hole in AC pipe

    I've just found a hole in the ac pipe on my A3 3.2 quattro 8P, more of a gouge out of the pipe really. Its about an inch long located just above the connection to the g65 sensor. Can I just get a second hand pipe and install with no problems? Or is there anything just need to know beforehand...

    Air Con Compressor Low Voltage

    I will keep this short! 54 plate V6 3.0 Cabriolet. AC not working. Recharged, fuses OK, new high pressure sensor. 8.4 Volts at the compressor. If I power the compressor from the battery directly with a fly lead, it clicks at works and the AC operates. So, where is the voltage being lost...

    ECON light (2005 model)

    Especially with the summer temperatures, my AC even on low isn’t especially cold and the ECON light doesn’t turn off. Any advice? The compressor is working thinking it might just need a re-gas? I know the facelift models have an ‘AC’ button instead but facelift have a complete different AC...

    A3 2015 8V air conditioning issue

    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. As the title goes I'm having problems with air con. When holding the ac button the light is lit and turns off immediately upon releasing the button. On vcds it shows that the ac pressure is at 1.2bar. The pressure sensor looks good and does not appear to leak but I've noticed something that...

    A/C problems, I'm lost.

    Hi all, I've never been able to get my A/C to work on my 2002 1.9tdi AWX, first time it was due to the high pressure sensor being bad which I replaced but it had been emptied of refrigerant so couldn't test it. Had it filled up the other day and econ light now stays off (no high pressure...
