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 sensor code showing either so that is working.)
However, even with econ light staying off and it being filled it still wouldn't work, checked the A/C compressor and found the clutch was missing, got a second hand one, screwed it on and it all spins nicely when engine on (spins with econ on or off and does not spin freely when engine off).
I am now getting signs that it is trying, you can hear the gasses through the metal pipes next to air filter, thicker pipe goes slightly warm and thinner one feels cold, same thing next to the pollen filter. But, still no cold air in the car.
Next check was the auxiliary fan, it does not come on with A/C, it does come on with output test in vcds, it came on once for about 3 seconds after I turned the engine off but nothing since.
I have checked all fuses but cannot see any problems.
Does anyone have any ideas where to look next or what needs testing?
Many thanks.
